Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Agreement.
As previously reported, on
July 24, 2023, Inpixon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with XTI Aircraft Company (the “XTI Merger Agreement”).
As a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the XTI Merger Agreement (the “Proposed XTI Transaction”),
Inpixon is required to complete the divestiture of its Shoom, SAVES and Game Your Game lines of business and investment securities, as
applicable, by any lawful means, including a sale to one or more third parties, spin off, plan of arrangement, merger, reorganization,
or any combination of the foregoing (the “Solutions Divestiture”). The Distribution (as defined below), if completed,
would constitute part of the Solutions Divestiture.
On October 23, 2023, Inpixon entered into a Separation and Distribution
Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Grafiti Holding Inc., a British Columbia corporation and newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary of Inpixon (“Grafiti”), pursuant to which Inpixon plans to transfer to Grafiti all of the outstanding shares
of Inpixon Ltd., a United Kingdom (the “UK”) limited company that operates Inpixon’s SAVES line of business in
the UK (“Inpixon UK”), such that Inpixon UK will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (the “Reorganization”).
Following the Reorganization and subject to conditions in the Separation Agreement, Inpixon will spin off Grafiti (the “Spin-off”)
by distributing to Inpixon stockholders and certain securities holders as of a record date to be determined (the “Participating
Securityholders”) on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding common shares of Grafiti (the “Grafiti Common Shares”)
owned by Inpixon (the “Distribution”), subject to certain lock-up restrictions and subject to registration of the Grafiti
Common Shares pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as further described below.
On October 23, 2023, Inpixon
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Inpixon, Damon Motors
Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Damon”), Grafiti, and 1444842 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation and
a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (“Amalco Sub”), pursuant to which it is proposed that Amalco Sub
and Damon amalgamate under the laws of British Columbia, Canada with the amalgamated company (the “Damon Surviving Corporation”)
continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grafiti (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is subject
to material conditions, including approval of the Business Combination by securities holders of Damon, approval of the issuance of Grafiti
Common Shares to Damon securities holders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement by a British Columbia court after a hearing upon
the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement as required by the exemption from registration provided
by Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act, and approval of the listing of the Grafiti Common Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)
after giving effect to the Business Combination. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”),
both Inpixon UK and the Damon Surviving Corporation will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Grafiti, which will adopt a new name as determined
by Damon. Grafiti, after the Closing, is referred to herein as the “combined company.” Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement, the parties will take all necessary action so that at the Closing, the board of directors of the combined company will consist
of such directors as Damon may determine, subject to the independent requirements under the Nasdaq rules, and provided that at least one
director will be nominated by Grafiti.
Holders of Grafiti Common
Shares, including Participating Securityholders and management that hold Grafiti Common Shares immediately prior to the closing of the
Business Combination, are anticipated to retain approximately 18.75% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company determined
on a fully diluted basis, which includes up to 5% in equity incentives which may be issued to Inpixon management.
Inpixon expects that there
will be no public trading market for the Grafiti Common Shares unless the Business Combination is consummated.
Transaction Documents
Separation Agreement
On October 23, 2023, Inpixon
entered into the Separation Agreement with Grafiti, pursuant to which, among other things, Inpixon plans to complete the Reorganization,
following which, subject to conditions in the Separation Agreement, Inpixon plans to spin off Grafiti by distributing to Inpixon Participating
Securityholders on a pro rata basis all of the outstanding Grafiti Common Shares owned by Inpixon, subject to certain lock-up restrictions
and subject to registration of the Grafiti Common Shares pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
The Separation Agreement also
sets forth other agreements among Inpixon and Grafiti related to the Spin-off, including provisions concerning the termination of certain
intercompany agreements and settlement of intercompany accounts. Grafiti will also enter into an assignment and assumption agreement and
a transition services agreement with Inpixon prior to completion of the Spin-off to facilitate the separation of the Grafiti business
and the operation of Grafiti and Inpixon as independent public companies.
Consummation of the Spin-off
is subject to customary conditions, including the following material conditions, (i) the transfer of Inpixon UK and related liabilities
to Grafiti in accordance with the Separation Agreement will have been completed, and (ii) the Grafiti Common Shares shall have been registered
under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act in connection with the Distribution.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this
“Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.
Business Combination Agreement
Structure and Consideration
In accordance with a plan
of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective
Time”):
(i) Each convertible note
of Damon (“Damon Notes”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted
into such number of common shares of Damon (“Damon Common Shares”) such that following the exchange of such Damon Common
Shares by applying the Exchange Ratio (as described below) in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the holders of the Damon
Notes will receive such number of Grafiti Common Shares that they are entitled to receive upon a Public Company Event (as such term is
defined in the Damon Notes).
(ii) Each simple agreement
for future equity of Damon (“Damon SAFE”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically
converted into such number of Damon Common Shares such that following the exchange of such Damon Common Shares by applying the Exchange
Ratio in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the holders of Damon SAFEs will each receive such number of Grafiti Common
Shares that they are entitled to receive in accordance with the terms of the Damon SAFEs.
(iii) Each share of Class
A Series 1 preferred shares, Class A Series 2 preferred shares, Class B preferred shares, seed preferred shares of Damon and any other
class or series of Damon preferred shares (collectively, the “Damon Preferred Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (other than Damon Preferred Shares held by dissenting holders) shall be automatically converted into such
number of Damon Common Shares as set out on a schedule to be attached to the plan of arrangement.
(iv) All Damon Common Shares
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, inclusive of all Damon Common Shares issued pursuant to the foregoing
paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) (other than Damon Common Shares and Damon Preferred Shares (collectively, “Damon Shares”)
held by dissenting holders) will be transferred and assigned to Grafiti in consideration for a number of Grafiti Common Shares determined
by multiplying such number of Damon Common Shares by the Exchange Ratio.
(v) Each option (whether vested
or unvested) to purchase Damon Shares (“Damon Options”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time will be exchanged for an option (a “Converted Option”) (i) to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms
and conditions as were applicable to the Damon Options, a number of Grafiti Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal
to the product of (A) the number of Damon Common Shares underlying such Damon Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, (ii) at
an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of such Damon Option immediately
prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.
(vi) Each warrant to purchase
Damon Shares (“Damon Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be exchanged for
a warrant (a “Converted Warrant”) (i) to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable
under such Damon Warrant, a number of Grafiti Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (A) the
number of Damon Common Shares underlying such Damon Warrant, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, (ii) at an exercise price per
share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Damon Warrant immediately prior to the
Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.
(vii) Each share of Amalco
Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged into and become one newly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable share of the corporate entity resulting from the amalgamation (“Damon Surviving Company”).
(viii) As consideration for
the issuance by Grafiti of Grafiti Common Shares described in paragraph (iv), Damon Surviving Company shall issue to Grafiti one common
share in its capital for each share of Grafiti Common Shares issued pursuant to the transactions described in paragraph (iv).
The Exchange Ratio is defined
in the Business Combination Agreement as the quotient of (A) the difference of (i) the quotient of the fully diluted shares of Grafiti
immediately prior to the Closing divided by 18.75% minus (ii) the fully diluted shares of Grafiti immediately prior to the Closing;
divided by (B) the fully diluted shares of Damon immediately prior to the Closing.
Representations and Warranties & Covenants
Pursuant to the Business Combination
Agreement, Damon, Grafiti, Amalco Sub and Inpixon each made representations and warranties, which will not survive the Effective Date.
In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed
to be bound by certain covenants including, among others, that (i) Grafiti shall promptly prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to register the Grafiti
Common Shares to be distributed in the Distribution, (ii) within 30 days after the execution date of the Business Combination Agreement,
Damon shall obtain executed support agreements from a sufficient number of Damon securityholders to approve the Business Combination and
obtain executed lock-up agreements from Damon securityholders holding at least 95% of Damon’s fully diluted shares, excluding holders
of Company notes issued in the June 2023 Note Offering (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (iii) Grafiti shall apply substantially
the same lock-up terms to Grafiti Common Shares issued in the Distribution as those contained in the Lock-up Agreements by incorporating
such terms in its organization documents or through another mechanism, (iv) Damon shall hold a meeting of Damon securities holders to
vote on the matters necessary for the Business Combination under a court-supervised plan of arrangement, (v) the parties shall work together
to establish the terms for an equity incentive plan at Grafiti prior to filing the Registration Statement, and (vi) to establish the terms
of consulting agreements with certain Grafiti management members who will provide transition services to the combined company.
The covenants made under the
Business Combination Agreement generally will not survive the Closing, with the exception of certain covenants and agreements that by
their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, which will survive in accordance with the terms of the Business
Combination Agreement.
Conditions to Closing
The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to customary
conditions, including the following material conditions: (i) the approval of the Business Combination by the Damon securityholders shall
have been obtained, (ii) the Registration Statement shall have become effective under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, (iii)
the Grafiti Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market
after giving effect to the Business Combination, (iv) the interim and final orders issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia

shall have obtained all the consents and approvals as may be necessary or required to consummate the Business Combination pursuant to
the Competition Act (Canada) and the Investment Canada Act, (vi) Grafiti shall have received a receipt from the British
Columbia Securities Commission in respect of the final non-offering prospectus, and (vii) dissent rights shall not have been exercised
with respect to more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Damon Shares.
Damon’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is
also conditioned on the Spin-off being completed in accordance with certain terms required in the Business Combination Agreement.
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain
customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including (i) by the mutual written consent of Inpixon and Damon,
(ii) by Inpixon or Damon, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 31, 2024, which may be extended by either party for
30 days, and thereafter by both parties for an additional 30 days, (iii) by Inpixon or Damon, if there has been any order, judgment, injunction,
decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority that would make the Business
Combination illegal or otherwise prohibits or enjoins the Business Combination, (iv) by Inpixon or Damon, if Damon has not obtained the
requisite approval from its securities holders, or (v) by Inpixon or Damon, if the other breaches certain representations, warranties,
or covenants, as specified in the Business Combination Agreement, or if the other experiences a material adverse effect and that breach
or material adverse effect is unable to be cured, or is not cured, within 20 days; provided that Grafiti or Damon shall pay the other
side all reasonable and documented transaction expenses of the other side up to $1 million if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated
pursuant to (v) above, and Damon shall pay Inpixon a termination fee of $2 million if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated
pursuant to (ii), (iv) and (v) above.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is
not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to this
Current Report, and incorporated herein by reference.
Bridge Note
Immediately following the
execution of the Business Combination Agreement and no later than October 27, 2023, Inpixon will purchase a convertible note from Damon
in an aggregate principal amount of $3 million (the “Bridge Note”) together with the Bridge Note Warrant (as defined
below) pursuant to a private placement, for a purchase price of $3 million. The Bridge Note has a 12% annual interest rate, payable on
the maturity date, which is twelve months from June 16, 2023. The full principal balance and interest on the Bridge Note will automatically
convert into common shares of Damon upon the public listing of Damon or a successor issuer thereof on a national securities exchange (a
“Public Company Event”). The number of shares issued upon conversion due to a Public Company Event will equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on the date of a Public Company Event (or within ten trading
days of a direct listing), if any, by (y) the lesser of the then applicable Conversion Price or Public Company Event Conversion Price,
each as defined in the Bridge Note. The Bridge Note will contain customary covenants relating to Damon’s financials and operations.
Inpixon will receive a five-year warrant to purchase 1,096,321 Damon
Common Shares in connection with the Bridge Note (“Bridge Note Warrant”) at an exercise price as defined in the Bridge
Note Warrant, in each case subject to adjustments for dividends, splits and subsequent equity sales by Damon. The Bridge Note Warrant
contains a cashless exercise option if the warrant shares are not covered by an effective registration statement within 180 days following
the consummation of the Public Company Event, and also a full ratchet price protection feature.
If the Business Combination
is consummated, the Bridge Note will be converted into Grafiti Common Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination and the Bridge
Note Warrant will become exercisable for Grafiti Common Shares.
The foregoing descriptions
are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Bridge Note and the Bridge
Note Warrant, as applicable, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report and incorporated herein
by reference.

The Separation Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement, the form
of the Support Agreement, the form of the Damon Insider Lock-up Agreement, the form of the Damon Lock-up Agreement, the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Bridge Note and the form of the Bridge Note Warrant have each been filed as exhibits to this Current Report, and the above
descriptions have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of such agreements. They
are not intended to provide any other factual information about Damon, Grafiti, Amalco Sub, Inpixon, any of their respective subsidiaries
or affiliates. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations and warranties that Inpixon, Grafiti, and/or Amalco Sub, on
the one hand, and Damon, on the other hand, have made to each other as of specific dates and/or times. The assertions embodied in those
representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement
and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the
agreement. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject
to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose
of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, such representations and
warranties should not be relied upon as statements of factual information. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may
not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The information furnished
with this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section
18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into
any other filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.

Important Information about the Proposed Transaction
and Where to Find It
In connection with the Spin-off, Grafiti will file with the SEC a registration
statement registering Grafiti Common Shares. Grafiti will also file a preliminary and final non-offering prospectus with the British Columbia
Securities Commission in connection with the Business Combination. This Current Report does not contain all the information that should
be considered concerning the Spin-off and the Business Combination (collectively, the “Proposed Transaction”) and is
not a substitute for any other documents that Inpixon or Grafiti may file with the SEC, or that Damon may send to securities holders in
connection with the Business Combination. It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect
to the Proposed Transaction. Damon’s stockholders and Inpixon’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read,
when available, the registration statement of Grafiti together with its exhibits, as these materials will contain important information
about Inpixon, Grafiti, Damon, and the Proposed Transaction.
The registration statement
and other documents to be filed by Grafiti with the SEC will also be available free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov,
or by directing a request to: Grafiti Holding Inc., 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303.
Forward-Looking Statements Regarding the Proposed
Transaction
This Current Report, along with the exhibits attached hereto, contains
certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained
in this Current Report, including statements regarding the benefits of the Proposed Transaction, the anticipated timing of the completion
of the Proposed Transaction, the products under development by Damon and the markets in which it plans to operate, the advantages of Damon’s
technology, Damon’s competitive landscape and positioning, and Damon’s growth plans and strategies, are forward-looking statements.
Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,”
“expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“predict,” “plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,”
“forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by Inpixon and its management, and Damon and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors
may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to:
| ● | the risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed
in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Inpixon’s securities; |
| | |
| ● | the risk that the public market valuation of the combined company following
the consummation of the Business Combination may differ from the valuation range ascertained by the parties to the Business Combination
and their respective financial advisors, and that the valuation to be ascertained by an independent financial advisor to Damon in connection
with the Business Combination may differ from the valuation ascertained by Inpixon’s independent financial advisor; |
|
● |
the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, including receiving the necessary approvals from the Damon securityholders and the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada with respect to the plan of arrangement; |
| ● | the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance
that could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed
Transaction on Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; |
| ● | risks that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans
of Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon and potential difficulties in their employee retention as a result of the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted
against Damon, Grafiti or Inpixon related to the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed
Transaction; |
| ● | the inability to satisfy the initial listing criteria of
Nasdaq or obtain Nasdaq approval of the initial listing of the combined company on Nasdaq; |
| ● | the risk that the price of the securities of the combined
company may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Grafiti and Damon
operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies that may impose additional costs and
compliance burdens on Grafiti and Damon’s operations, global supply chain disruptions and shortages, and macro-economic and social
environments affecting Grafiti and Damon’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; |
| ● | the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and
other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; |
| ● | the risk that Damon has a limited operating history, has
not achieved sufficient sales and production capacity at a mass-production facility, and Damon and its current and future collaborators
may be unable to successfully develop and market Damon’s motorcycles or solutions, or may experience significant delays in doing
so; |
| ● | the risk that the combined company may never achieve or sustain
profitability; |
| ● | the risk that Damon and the combined company may be unable
to raise additional capital on acceptable terms to finance its operations and remain a going concern; |
| ● | the risk that the combined company experiences difficulties
in managing its growth and expanding operations; |
|
● |
the risk that Damon’s non-binding reservations are canceled, modified, delayed or not placed and that Damon must return the refundable deposits and such reservations are not converted to sales; |
| ● | the risks relating to Damon’s ability to satisfy the
conditions and deliver on the orders and reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its motorcycles, and Damon’s
dependence on third parties for supplying components and manufacturing the motorcycles; |
| ● | the risk that other motorcycle manufacturers develop competitive
electric motorcycles or other competitive motorcycles that adversely affect Damon’s market position; |
| ● | the risk that Damon’s patent applications may not be
approved or may take longer than expected, and Damon may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property; |
|
● |
the risk that Damon’s estimates of market demand may be inaccurate; and |
|
● |
other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Inpixon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period thereafter, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Inpixon’s filings with the SEC, and the registration statement to be filed by Grafiti in connection with the Spin-off. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. |
Nothing in this Current Report
should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any
of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Inpixon nor Damon gives any assurance that either Inpixon or Damon
or the combined company will achieve its expected results. Neither Inpixon nor Damon undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking
statements, except as otherwise required by law.
Important Information About the Proposed XTI Transaction and Where
to Find It
This Current Report and its exhibits, in part, relate to a proposed
transaction between XTI Aircraft Company (“XTI”) and Inpixon pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as
of July 24, 2023, by and among Inpixon, Superfly Merger Sub Inc. and XTI (the “Proposed XTI Transaction”). Inpixon
filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on August 14, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 6, 2023, which
included a preliminary prospectus and proxy statement of Inpixon in connection with the Proposed XTI Transaction, referred to as a proxy
statement/prospectus. The registration statement on Form S-4 has not yet become effective. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to
all Inpixon stockholders as of the applicable record date established for voting on the transaction and to the stockholders of XTI. Inpixon
also will file other documents regarding the Proposed XTI Transaction with the SEC.
Before
making any voting decision, investors and security holders are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus,
any amendments thereto, and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Proposed XTI
Transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about Inpixon, XTI and the Proposed XTI Transaction.
Investors and securityholders

Forward-Looking Statements about the Proposed XTI Transaction
This Current Report, along
with the exhibits attached hereto, contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report, including statements regarding the
benefits of the Proposed XTI Transaction and the anticipated timing of the completion of the Proposed XTI Transaction, are forward-looking
statements.
Some of these forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,” “expect,”
“intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,”
“plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “forecast”
or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties,
and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Inpixon and its
management, and XTI and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to
differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to:
|
● |
the risk that the Proposed XTI Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Inpixon’s securities; |
|
● |
the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed XTI Transaction, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Inpixon; |
|
● |
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; |
|
● |
the adjustments permitted under the merger agreement to the exchange ratio that could result in XTI shareholders or Inpixon shareholders owning less of the post-combination company than expected; |
|
● |
the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed XTI Transaction on Inpixon’s and XTI’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; |
|
● |
the risks that the Proposed XTI Transaction disrupts current plans of Inpixon and XTI and potential difficulties in Inpixon’s and XTI’s employee retention as a result of the Proposed XTI Transaction; |
|
● |
the outcome of any legal proceedings instituted against XTI or against
Inpixon related to the merger agreement or the Proposed XTI Transaction; |
|
● |
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed XTI Transaction; |
|
● |
the inability to meet and maintain the listing of Inpixon’s securities (or the securities of the post-combination company) on Nasdaq; |
|
● |
the risk that the price of Inpixon’s securities (or the securities of the post-combination company) may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Inpixon and XTI operate, |
|
● |
the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed XTI Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; |
|
● |
variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies that may impose additional costs and compliance burdens on Inpixon and XTI’s operations, global supply chain disruptions and shortages, |
|
● |
national security tensions, and macro-economic and social environments affecting Inpixon and XTI’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI has a limited operating history, has not yet manufactured any non-prototype aircraft or delivered any aircraft to a customer, and XTI and its current and future collaborators may be unable to successfully develop and market XTI’s aircraft or solutions, or may experience significant delays in doing so; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI is subject to the uncertainties associated with the regulatory approvals of its aircraft including the certification by the Federal Aviation Administration, which is a lengthy and costly process; |
|
● |
the risk that the post-combination company may never achieve or sustain profitability; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI, Inpixon and the post-combination company may be unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms to finance its operations and remain a going concern; |
|
● |
the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI’s conditional pre-orders (which include conditional aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservations, and options) are canceled, modified, delayed or not placed and that XTI must return the refundable deposits; |
|
● |
the risks relating to long development and sales cycles, XTI’s ability to satisfy the conditions and deliver on the orders and reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its aircraft, and XTI’s dependence on third parties for supplying components and potentially manufacturing the aircraft; |
|
● |
the risk that other aircraft manufacturers develop competitive VTOL aircraft or other competitive aircraft that adversely affect XTI’s market position; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI’s future patent applications may not be approved or may take longer than expected, and XTI may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI’s estimates of market demand may be inaccurate; |
|
● |
the risk that XTI’s ability to sell its aircraft may be limited by circumstances beyond its control, such as a shortage of pilots and mechanics who meet the training standards, high maintenance frequencies and costs for the sold aircraft, and any accidents or incidents involving VTOL aircraft that may harm customer confidence; and |
|
● |
other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Inpixon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 filed on May 16, 2023, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 25, 2023, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 filed on August 18, 2023, and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in XTI’s periodic reports filed pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act including XTI’s Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on July 13, 2023 (the “2022 Form 1-K”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in Inpixon’s and XTI’s filings with the SEC, the registration statement on Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. |
Nothing in this Current Report
on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved
or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Inpixon nor XTI gives any assurance that either Inpixon or XTI or the
post-combination company will achieve its expected results. Neither Inpixon nor XTI undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking
statements, except as otherwise required by law.
Participants in the Solicitation
XTI and Inpixon and their
respective directors and officers and other members of management may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitation
of proxies from Inpixon’s stockholders with the Proposed XTI Transaction and the other matters set forth in the registration statement.

You may obtain free copies of these documents as described above under “Important Information About the Proposed Transaction and
Where to Find It.”

8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the

| 2.4 | Approvals and Notifications. |
(a) Approvals
and Notifications for Grafiti Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Grafiti Asset, the assumption of any Grafiti
Liability, the Separation, the Distribution or any other transaction contemplated under this Agreement requires any Approvals or Notifications,
the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable;

(b)
Delayed Grafiti Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the
Grafiti Group of any Grafiti Asset or assumption by the Grafiti Group of any Grafiti Liability in connection with the Separation or
the Distribution would be a violation of applicable Law or require
any Approvals or Notifications that have not been obtained or made by the Effective Time then, unless the Parties mutually shall otherwise
determine, the transfer or assignment to the Grafiti Group of such Grafiti Assets or the assumption by the Grafiti Group of such Grafiti
Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall
be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any such Grafiti Assets or Grafiti Liabilities shall continue to constitute Grafiti Assets and Grafiti Liabilities for
all other purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Treatment
of Delayed Grafiti Assets and Delayed Grafiti Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Grafiti Asset (or a portion thereof)
or any assumption of any Grafiti Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case
may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Effective Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(b) or for any other
reason (any such Grafiti Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Grafiti Asset” and any such Grafiti Liability (or a portion
thereof), a “Delayed Grafiti Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of
the Parent Group retaining such Delayed Grafiti Asset or such Delayed Grafiti Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such
Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti Liability for the use and benefit (or the performance and obligation, in the case of a Liability)
of the member of the Grafiti Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Grafiti Group entitled thereto). In addition,
the member of the Parent Group retaining such Delayed Grafiti Asset or such Delayed Grafiti Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible
and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti Liability in the ordinary course of
business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Grafiti Group
to whom such Delayed Grafiti Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Delayed Grafiti Liability, as the case
may be, in order to place such member of the Grafiti Group in a substantially similar position as if such Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed
Grafiti Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to
such Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion,
control and command over such Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related
thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Grafiti Group.
(d) Transfer
of Delayed Grafiti Assets and Delayed Grafiti Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused
the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Grafiti Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Grafiti Liability pursuant
to Section 2.4(b), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Grafiti
Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Grafiti Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Grafiti
Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Grafiti Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.
(e) Costs
for Delayed Grafiti Assets and Delayed Grafiti Liabilities. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, any member
of the Parent Group retaining a Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti
Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Delayed Grafiti Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed
Grafiti Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary
funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Grafiti or the member of the Grafiti Group entitled to the Delayed Grafiti Asset or
Delayed Grafiti Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which
shall be promptly reimbursed by Grafiti or the member of the Grafiti Group entitled to such Delayed Grafiti Asset or Delayed Grafiti Liability;
provided, however, that the Parent Group shall not knowingly allow the loss or diminution in value of any Delayed Grafiti
Asset without first providing the Grafiti Group commercially reasonable notice of such potential loss or diminution in value and afford
the Grafiti Group commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent such loss or diminution.
(f) Approvals
and Notifications for Parent Assets. To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Parent Asset, the assumption of any Parent
Liability, the Separation or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent
expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Parent and Grafiti, neither Parent
nor Grafiti shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty
or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.
(g) Delayed
Parent Transfers. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Parent Group of any Parent
Asset or assumption by the Parent Group of any Parent Liability in connection with the Separation or the Distribution would be a violation
of applicable Law or require any Approvals or Notifications that have not been obtained or made by the Effective Time then, unless the
Parties mutually shall otherwise determine, the transfer or assignment to the Parent Group of such Parent Assets or the assumption by
the Parent Group of such Parent Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer,
assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications
have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Parent Assets or Parent Liabilities shall continue to constitute Parent
Assets and Parent Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.
(h) Treatment
of Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. If any transfer or assignment of any Parent Asset (or a portion thereof)
or any assumption of any Parent Liability (or a portion thereof) intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case
may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Effective Time whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.4(g) or for any other
reason (any such Parent Asset (or a portion thereof), a “Delayed Parent Asset” and any such Parent Liability (or a portion
thereof), a “Delayed Parent Liability”), then, insofar as reasonably possible and subject to applicable Law, the member of
the Grafiti Group retaining such Delayed Parent Asset or such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such
Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability for the use and benefit (or the performance or obligation, in the case of a Liability)
of the member of the Parent Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Parent Group entitled thereto). In addition, the
member of the Grafiti Group retaining such Delayed Parent Asset or such Delayed Parent Liability shall, insofar as reasonably
possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability in the ordinary course
of business in accordance with past practice. Such member of the Grafiti Group shall also take such other actions as may be reasonably
requested by the member of the Parent Group to which such Delayed Parent Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume
such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Parent Group in a substantially similar position
as if such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and
burdens relating to such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential
for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, and all costs
and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Effective Time to the Parent Group.
(i) Transfer
of Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the
deferral of transfer or assignment of any Delayed Parent Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Delayed Parent Liability pursuant
to Section 2.4(g), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Delayed Parent
Asset or the assumption of any Delayed Parent Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Delayed Parent
Asset or the assumption of the applicable Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.
(j) Costs
for Delayed Parent Assets and Delayed Parent Liabilities. Except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, any member of
the Grafiti Group retaining a Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such
Delayed Parent Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Delayed Parent Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in
connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Parent or
the member of the Parent Group entitled to the Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Parent or the member of the Parent Group
entitled to such Delayed Parent Asset or Delayed Parent Liability; provided, however, that the Grafiti Group shall not knowingly allow
the loss or diminution in value of any Delayed Parent Asset without first providing the Parent Group commercially reasonable notice of
such potential loss or diminution in value and affording the Parent Group commercially reasonable opportunity to take action to prevent
such loss or diminution in value.
| 2.5 | Assignment and Novation of Liabilities. |
| (a) | Assignment and Novation of Grafiti Liabilities. |
(i) Each
of Parent and Grafiti, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained,
as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all Grafiti Liabilities
and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of the Parent Group that is a party to any such arrangements, so that,
in any such case, the members of the Grafiti Group shall be solely responsible for such Grafiti Liabilities; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, neither Parent nor Grafiti shall be obligated to contribute any capital or pay any consideration
in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any third Person from whom any such
consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.
(ii) If
Parent or Grafiti is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release
and the applicable member of the Parent Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability
(each, an “Unreleased Grafiti Liability”), Grafiti shall, except to the extent not prohibited by Law, indemnify or guarantee
fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Parent Group that constitute Unreleased Grafiti Liabilities from
and after the Effective Time. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased
Grafiti Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Parent shall promptly assign or novate, or cause to be assigned
or novated, and Grafiti or the applicable Grafiti Group member shall assume, such Unreleased Grafiti Liabilities without exchange of further
consideration.
| (b) | Assignment and Novation of Parent Liabilities. |
(i) Each
of Parent and Grafiti, at the request of the other, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained,
as soon as reasonably practicable, any consent, substitution, approval or amendment required to novate or assign all Parent Liabilities
and obtain in writing the unconditional release of each member of the Grafiti Group that is a party to any such arrangements, so that,
in any such case, the members of the Parent Group shall be solely responsible for such Parent Liabilities; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, neither Parent nor Grafiti shall be obligated to
contribute any capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation)
to any third Person from whom any such consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release is requested.
(ii) If
Parent or Grafiti is unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, substitution, approval, amendment or release
and the applicable member of the Grafiti Group continues to be bound by such agreement, lease, license or other obligation or Liability
(each, an “Unreleased Parent Liability”), Parent shall, except to the extent not prohibited by Law, indemnify or guarantee
fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such member of the Grafiti Group. If and when any such consent, substitution, approval,
amendment or release shall be obtained or the Unreleased Parent Liabilities shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, Grafiti
shall promptly assign or novate, or cause to be assigned or novated, and Parent or the applicable Parent Group member shall assume, such
Unreleased Parent Liabilities without exchange of further consideration.
| 2.6 | Termination of Agreements. |
(a) Except
as set forth in Section 2.6(b), in furtherance of the releases and other provisions of Section 4.1, Grafiti and each member of the Grafiti
Group, on the one hand, and Parent and each member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, hereby terminate any and all agreements, arrangements,
commitments or understandings, whether or not in writing, between or among Grafiti or any member of the Grafiti
Group, on the one hand, and Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, effective as of the Effective Time. No such terminated
agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) shall be of
any further force or effect after the Effective Time. Each Party shall, at the reasonable request of the other Party, take, or cause to
be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.
(b) The
provisions of Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to any of the following agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings (or to any
of the provisions thereof):

Agreements (and each other agreement or instrument expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be entered into
by any of the Parties or any of the members of their respective Groups or to be continued from and after the Effective Time); (ii) any
agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings listed or described on Schedule 2.6(b)(ii); (iii) any agreements, arrangements,
commitments or understandings to which any Third Party is a party thereto; and (iv) any intercompany accounts payable or accounts receivable
accrued as of the Effective Time that are reflected in the books and records of the Parties or otherwise documented in writing in accordance
with past practices, which shall be settled in the manner contemplated by Section 2.6(c).
(c) All
of the intercompany accounts receivable and accounts payable between any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any member of
the Grafiti Group, on the other hand, outstanding as of the Effective Time and arising out of the contracts or agreements described in
Section 2.6(b) or out of the provision, prior to the Effective Time, of the services to be provided following the Effective Time pursuant
to the Ancillary Agreements shall be repaid or settled following the Effective Time in the ordinary course of business or, if otherwise
mutually agreed prior to the Effective Time by duly authorized representatives of Parent and Grafiti, cancelled. All other intercompany
accounts receivable and accounts payable between any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and any member of the Grafiti Group,
on the other hand, outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be repaid or settled immediately prior to or as promptly as practicable
after the Effective Time.

Party agrees to take, or cause the members of its Group to take, at the Effective Time (or such earlier time as the Parties may agree),
all actions necessary to amend all contracts or agreements governing each bank and brokerage account owned by Grafiti or any other member
of the Grafiti Group (collectively, the “Grafiti Accounts”) and all contracts or agreements governing each bank or brokerage
account owned by Parent or any other member of the Parent Group (collectively, the “Parent Accounts”) so that each such Grafiti
Account and Parent Account, if currently linked (whether by automatic withdrawal, automatic deposit or any other authorization to transfer
funds from or to) to any Parent Account or Grafiti Account, respectively, is de-linked from such Parent Account or Grafiti Account, respectively.
(b) It
is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.7(a), there will be in place a cash management process
pursuant to which the Grafiti Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one or more accounts maintained by
Grafiti or a member of the Grafiti Group.
(c) It
is intended that, following consummation of the actions contemplated by Section 2.7(a), there will continue to be in place a cash management
process pursuant to which the Parent Accounts will be managed and funds collected will be transferred into one or more accounts maintained
by Parent or a member of the Parent Group.
(d) With
respect to any outstanding checks issued or payments initiated by Parent, Grafiti, or any of the members of their respective Groups prior
to the Effective Time, such outstanding checks and payments shall be honored following the Effective Time by the Person or Group owning
the account on which the check is drawn or from which the payment was initiated, respectively.
(e) As
between Parent and Grafiti (and the members of their respective Groups), all payments made and reimbursements received after the Effective
Time by either Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group),
shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto and, promptly following receipt by such Party
of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay over, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the
other Party the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.
(f) Within
30 days after the Distribution Date, Grafiti shall cause to be prepared in good faith and delivered to Parent a balance sheet (the “Balance
Sheet”) setting forth cash and cash equivalents held by each member of the Grafiti Group as of the Effective Time (the aggregate
amount of such cash and cash equivalents the “Final Cash Balance”). For a period of 60 days following delivery by Grafiti
of the Balance Sheet or such longer period as Parent is disputing the amount of cash or cash equivalents reflected in the Balance Sheet,
Parent may review and analyze the Balance Sheet and Grafiti shall cooperate with and make available to Parent and its Representatives
all information, records, data and working papers, in each case, to the extent related to the determination of the amount of cash and
cash equivalents held by the members of the Grafiti Group as of the Effective Time, and Grafiti shall permit access to its facilities
and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the review and analysis of the Balance Sheet.
(g) If
Parent disagrees with the amount of cash or cash equivalents reflected in the Balance Sheet, Parent and Grafiti shall attempt to resolve
the dispute in good faith for 30 days following the delivery to Parent of the Balance Sheet. Following such 30 day period, Parent shall
be entitled to dispute such amount or amounts pursuant to Article VII and shall be entitled to make an Arbitration Request without first
complying with Section 7.1 or Section 7.2.
2.8 Ancillary
Agreements. Effective on or prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Grafiti will, or will cause the applicable members of their
Groups to, execute and deliver all Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party.
| 2.9 | Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties. |
| (a) | EACH OF PARENT (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE
PARENT GROUP), GRAFITI (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH MEMBER OF THE GRAFITI GROUP) UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED
BY THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, IS REPRESENTING OR WARRANTING IN ANY WAY AS TO THE ASSETS, BUSINESSES OR LIABILITIES
TRANSFERRED OR ASSUMED AS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AS TO ANY CONSENTS OR APPROVALS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (INCLUDING
GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS OR PERMITS OF ANY KIND), AS TO THE VALUE OR FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTERESTS OF, OR ANY OTHER MATTER CONCERNING,
ANY ASSETS OF SUCH PARTY, OR AS TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFENSES OR RIGHT OF SETOFF OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM
OR OTHER ASSET, INCLUDING ANY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, OF ANY PARTY, OR AS TO THE LEGAL SUFFICIENCY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT, DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT

APPROVALS OR NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR MADE OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH. |
| (b) | Each of Parent (on behalf of itself and each member of the
Parent Group), Grafiti (on behalf of itself and each member of the Grafiti Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer
of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.13(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason
under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both
Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on the one hand, and Grafiti or any member of the Grafiti Group, on the other hand, are jointly
or severally liable for any Parent Liability, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the
Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations
and warranties (except as otherwise provided in any such agreements), allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and
their respective Group. |

(a) Parent
shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the terms of the Distribution, including the form, structure and terms of any transaction(s)

Laws. Parent and Grafiti shall cooperate in preparing, filing with the SEC and causing to become effective registration statements or
amendments thereof which are required to reflect the establishment of, or amendments to, any employee benefit and other compensatory plans
necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Parent and Grafiti
will prepare, and Grafiti will, to the extent required under applicable Law, file with the SEC, any such documentation and any requisite
no- action letters which Parent reasonably
determines are necessary or desirable to effectuate the Distribution, and Parent and Grafiti shall each use reasonable best efforts to
obtain all necessary approvals from the SEC with respect thereto as soon as practicable. Parent and Grafiti shall take all such action

to the Record Holders.
(e) The
Distribution Agent. Parent shall enter into a distribution agent agreement with the Agent or otherwise provide instructions to the
Agent regarding the Distribution.
| 3.3 | Conditions to the Distribution. |
(a) The
consummation of the Distribution will be subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, of the
following conditions:
(i) The
Form S-1 shall have become effective under the Securities Act or the SEC shall have declared effective the Form 10; no order suspending
the effectiveness of the Form S-1 or the Form 10 shall be in effect; and no proceedings for such purposes shall have been instituted or
threatened by the SEC.
(ii) In
the case of Form 10, the Information Statement shall have been mailed to Record Holder.
(iii) The
transfer of the Grafiti Assets (other than any Delayed Grafiti Asset) and Grafiti Liabilities (other than any Delayed Grafiti Liability)
contemplated to be transferred from Parent to Grafiti on or prior to the Distribution shall have occurred as contemplated by Section 2.1,
and the transfer of the Parent Assets (other than any Delayed Parent Asset) and Parent Liabilities (other than any Delayed Parent Liability)
contemplated to be transferred from Grafiti to Parent on or prior to the Distribution Date shall have occurred as contemplated by Section

(iv) The actions and filings necessary or
appropriate under applicable U .S. federal, U.S. state or other securities Laws or blue sky Laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder shall have been taken or made, and, where applicable, have become effective or been accepted by the applicable
Governmental Authority.
(v) Any
required approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect;
(vi)
Each of the Ancillary Agreements shall have been duly executed and delivered.
(vii)
No order, injunction or decree issued by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or
prohibition preventing the consummation of the Separation, the Distribution or any of the transactions related thereto shall be in
effect.
(viii) No
other events or developments shall exist or shall have occurred that, in the judgment of the Parent Board, in its sole and absolute discretion,
makes it inadvisable to effect the Separation, the Distribution or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
(b) The
foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and shall not give rise to or create any duty on the part of Parent or the Parent
Board to waive or not waive any such condition or in any way limit Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Article
IX or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in Article IX. Any determination made by the Parent Board prior
to the Distribution concerning the satisfaction or waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3(a) shall be conclusive
and binding on the Parties. If Parent waives any material condition, it shall promptly issue a press release disclosing such fact and
file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing such waiver.
(a) Subject
to Section 3.3, on or prior to the Effective Time, Grafiti will deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Record Holders, book-entry
transfer authorizations for such number of the outstanding Grafiti Shares as is necessary to effect the Distribution, and shall cause
the transfer agent for the Parent Shares to instruct the Agent to distribute at the Effective Time the appropriate number of Grafiti Shares
to each such holder or designated transferee or transferees of such holder by way of direct registration in book-entry form. Grafiti will
not issue paper stock certificates in respect of the Grafiti Shares. The Distribution shall be effective at the Effective Time.
(b) Subject
to Sections 3.3, and 3.4(d), each Record Holder will be entitled to receive in the Distribution one Grafiti Share for a number of Parent
Shares held by such Record Holder on the Record Date or issuable to such Record Holder upon complete conversion or exercise of the Other
Parent Securities, as applicable. Such number of Parent Shares shall be calculated as follows: (1) 4,615,385 minus the number of
the incentive shares allocated to Parent or Grafiti’s management pursuant to any Grafiti’s employee benefit and other compensatory
plan; divided by (2) the number of the issued and outstanding Parent Shares, plus the number of Parent Shares underlying
the Other Parent Securities as of the Record Date.
(c) No
fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional
share interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall
not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of Grafiti. In lieu of any such fractional shares, Parent
will, in its sole discretion, either round up fractional shares that recipients of Grafiti Shares will otherwise be entitled to receive,
but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c) or pay cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided. If Parent determines
to pay cash for fractional shares, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall direct the Agent to determine the number
of whole and fractional Grafiti Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and
to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise
would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and
through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu
of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting
any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution,
including brokers fees and commissions. None of Parent, Grafiti or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for
the fractional Grafiti Shares sold in accordance with this Section 3.4(c). Neither Parent nor Grafiti will be required to pay any interest
on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares
are sold shall be Affiliates of Parent or Grafiti. Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section
3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d), the beneficial owner of Parent Shares and Other Parent Securities held of record in the name of a nominee in
any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.
(d) Any
Grafiti Shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares (if applicable) with respect to Grafiti Shares that remain unclaimed by any Record
Holder 180 days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Grafiti, and Grafiti or its transfer agent on its behalf shall hold
such Grafiti Shares or cash for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such Grafiti
Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of fractional share interests shall be obligations of Grafiti, subject in each case to applicable escheat
or other abandoned property Laws, and Parent shall have no Liability with respect thereto.
(e) Until the Grafiti Shares are duly
transferred in accordance with this Section3 .4 and applicable Law, from and after the Effective Time, Grafiti will regard the
Persons entitled to receive such Grafiti Shares as record holders of Grafiti Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution
without requiring any action on the part of such Persons. Grafiti agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and
after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends, if any, payable on, and exercise voting
rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the Grafiti Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder
will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership of the Grafiti Shares then held by
such holder.

or any Ancillary Agreement) and (C) all Liabilities arising from or in connection with actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions,
facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time (whether or not such Liabilities cease being contingent, mature,
become known, are asserted or foreseen, or accrue, in each case
before, at or after the Effective Time), in each case to the extent relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Parent Business,
the Parent Assets or the Parent Liabilities but excluding any Liabilities resulting from actions by any member of the Grafiti Group that
are the result of intentional misconduct, wrongdoing, fraud or misrepresentation by such member of the Grafiti Group.
(c)
Acknowledgment of Unknown Losses or Claims. The Parties expressly understand and acknowledge that it is possible that
unknown losses or claims exist or might come to exist or that present losses may have been underestimated in amount, severity, or
both. Accordingly, the Parties are deemed expressly to understand provisions and principles of law such as Section 1542 of the Civil
Code of the State of California (“Section 1542”) (as well as any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by
any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar or comparable to Section 1542),
which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR
AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR. The Parties are hereby deemed to agree that the provisions of Section 1542 and all similar federal or state laws, rights,
rules, or legal principles of California or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein, are hereby knowingly and
voluntarily waived and relinquished with respect to the releases in Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b).
(d) Obligations
Not Affected. Nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement, any Ancillary
Agreement or any agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings that are specified in Section 2.6(b) or the applicable Schedules
thereto as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, in each case in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained in Section 4.1(a) or
4.1(b) shall release any Person from:
(i) any
Liability provided in or resulting from any agreement among any members of the Parent Group or any members of the Grafiti Group that is
specified in Section 2.6(b) or the applicable Schedules thereto as not to terminate as of the Effective Time, or any other Liability specified
in Section 2.6(b) as not to terminate as of the Effective Time;
(ii) any
Liability, contingent or otherwise, assumed, transferred, assigned or allocated to the Group of which such Person is a member in accordance
with, or any other Liability of any member of any Group under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;
(iii) any
Liability for the sale, lease, construction or receipt of goods, property or services purchased, obtained or used in the ordinary course
of business by a member of one Group from a member of the other Group prior to the Effective Time;
(iv) any
Liability for unpaid amounts for products or services or refunds owing on products or services due on a value received basis for work
done by a member of one Group at the request or on behalf of a member of the other Group;
(v) any
Liability provided in or resulting from any Contract or understanding that is entered into after the Effective Time between any Party
(or a member of such Party’s Group), on the one hand, and any other Party (or a member of the other Party’s Group), on the
other hand;
(vi) any
Liability that the Parties may have with respect to any indemnification or contribution or other obligation pursuant to this Agreement,
any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the
provisions of this Article IV and Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or
(vii) any
Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 4.1.
In addition, nothing
contained in Section 4.1(a) shall release any member of the Parent Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director,
officer or employee of Grafiti who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the Parent Group on or prior to the Effective
Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer
or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to such existing obligations; it being understood that, if the underlying obligation
giving rise to such Action is a Grafiti Liability, Grafiti shall indemnify Parent for such Liability (including Parent’s costs to
indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV.
(e) No
Claims. Grafiti shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the Grafiti Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence
any Action asserting any claim or demand, against Parent or any other member of the Parent Group, or any other Person released pursuant
to Section 4.1(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.1(a). Parent shall not make, and shall not permit any
other member of the Parent Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, against Grafiti or
any other member of the Grafiti Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Liabilities released
pursuant to Section 4.1(b).
(f) Execution
of Further Releases. At any time at or after the Effective Time, at the request of either Party, the other Party shall cause each
member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases reflecting the provisions of this Section 4.1.
4.2 Covenant
Not to Sue. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it, the members of such Party’s Group or any Person claiming
through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Party, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Party,
before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the assumption of any Grafiti
Liabilities by Grafiti or a member of the Grafiti Group on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the retention of any Parent Liabilities by Parent or a member of the Parent Group on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; or (c)
the provisions of this Article IV are void or unenforceable for any reason.
ARTICLE V
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS
(a) Parent
and Grafiti agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the
Effective Time. In no event shall Parent, any other member of the Parent Group have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of
the Grafiti Group in the event that any insurance policy or insurance policy related contract shall be terminated or otherwise cease to
be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the Grafiti Group for any reason
whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.
(b) From
and after the Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the Grafiti Group prior to the
Effective Time, Parent will pursue claims, at Grafiti’s sole cost and expense on behalf of Grafiti (with Grafiti entitled to all
Insurance Proceeds resulting from or arising out of any such claims) under Parent’s Policies in place immediately prior to the Effective
Time (and any extended reporting periods for claims made Policies) and Parent’s historical Policies, but solely to the extent that
such Policies provided coverage for members of the Grafiti Group or the Grafiti Business prior to the Effective Time; provided that such
right to require Parent to make claims on behalf of Grafiti under such Policies shall be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions
of such Policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions and other fees and expenses, and
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(i) Grafiti
shall provide written notification to Parent of any request for Parent to pursue a claim on behalf Grafiti pursuant to this Section 5.1(b),
and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such claim, at Grafiti’s sole cost and expense, as promptly as is
reasonably practicable;
(ii) Grafiti
and the members of the Grafiti Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Parent and the members of the Parent Group for any deductibles,
self- insured retention, fees, indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees, allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees,
and other expenses incurred by Parent or any members of the Parent Group to the extent resulting from any pursuit of claims on behalf
of Grafiti or any other members of the Grafiti Group under any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), whether such claims
are pursued on behalf of Grafiti, its employees or third Persons; and
(iii) Grafiti
shall exclusively bear (and neither Parent nor any members of the Parent Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Grafiti
or any member of the Grafiti Group for) and shall be liable for all excluded, uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts
of all such claims pursued on behalf of Grafiti or any member of the Grafiti Group under the Policies as provided for in this Section
5.1(b).
In the event that
any member of the Parent Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time
for which such member of the Parent Group is entitled to coverage under Grafiti’s third-party Policies, the same process pursuant
to this Section 5.1(b) shall apply, substituting “Parent” for “Grafiti” and “Grafiti” for “Parent”,
including for purposes of the first sentence of Section 5.1(e).
(c) Except
as provided in Section 5.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, neither Grafiti nor any member of the Grafiti Group shall have any rights
to or under any of the Policies of Parent or any other member of the Parent Group. At the Effective Time, Grafiti shall have in effect
all insurance programs required to comply with Grafiti’s contractual obligations and such other Policies required by Law or as reasonably
necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to Grafiti’s.
(d) In
connection with Parent’s pursuit of a claim on behalf of Grafiti or a member of the Grafiti Group under any insurance policy of
Parent or any member of the Parent Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, Parent shall not be required to take any action that would be reasonably
likely to (i) have a material and adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Parent or any member of the Parent Group, on
the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or
materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by Parent or any member of the Parent Group under
the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere in any material respect with the rights of Parent
or any member of the Parent Group under the applicable insurance policy.
(e) All
payments and reimbursements by Grafiti pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within 45 days after Grafiti’s receipt of an invoice
therefor from Parent. Parent shall retain the exclusive right to control its Policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle,
release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive
any rights under any such Policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such Policies or programs apply to any Grafiti Liabilities
or claims Grafiti has made or could make in the future, and no member of the Grafiti Group shall erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute,
buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Parent’s insurers with respect to any of Parent’s Policies and programs, or amend,
modify or waive any rights under any such Policies and programs. Grafiti shall cooperate with Parent and share such information as is
reasonably necessary in order to permit Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters as Parent deems appropriate. Neither Parent
nor any member of the Parent Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any Policies of Parent
or any member of the Parent Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the Grafiti Group incurred prior to the Effective Time. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Party and any member of its applicable Group has the sole right to settle or otherwise resolve third party
claims made against it or any member of its applicable Group covered under an applicable insurance Policy.
(f) This
Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be
construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Parent Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy
of insurance.
(g) Grafiti
does hereby, for itself and each other member of the Grafiti Group, agree that no member of the Parent Group shall have any Liability
whatsoever as a result of the Policies and practices of Parent and the members of the Parent Group as in effect at any time, including
as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any
policy, or the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.
(h) For
5 years after the Effective Time, each of Parent and Grafiti shall cause to be maintained in effect the same or no less favorable (in
the aggregate) provisions in its respective articles of incorporation and bylaws or comparable governing documents in effect as of the
Effective Time regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers and directors and advancement of expenses; provided that
this clause (h) shall not be deemed to prevent any merger, liquidation or similar transaction.
5.2 Late
Payments. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, or as otherwise agreed in
writing by the Parties, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or
otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within 45 days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall accrue
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 1%, provided that notice of any such late payment has been provided and the
other Party has been provided 15 days to cure any such late payment.
5.3 Inducement.
Grafiti acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has
been conditioned upon and induced by Grafiti’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including
Grafiti’s assumption of the Grafiti Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and Grafiti’s
covenants and agreements contained in Article IV.
5.4 Post-Effective
Time Conduct. The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility
for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations
and activities following the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except
as otherwise provided in Article IV) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne
by the other Party.
5.5 Tax
Cooperation. After the Distribution, the Parties agree to provide (and to cause their Affiliates to provide) each other with such
cooperation and information (including access to books and records, financial statements and copies of relevant tax returns or portions
thereof, together with accompanying schedules) relating to the Transferred Entity that are in such party’s possession for any tax
period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the date of the Distribution (a “Tax Period”) as any other party
may reasonably request in connection with (i) preparing and filing any tax return, amended tax return or other ax filing for a Tax Period,
(ii) conducting or defending any tax audit, exam or other proceeding for a Tax
Period, or (iii) effectuating the terms of this Agreement and the Distribution from a tax perspective.
ARTICLE VI
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY
| 6.1 | Agreement for Exchange of Information. |
(a) Subject
to Section 6.9 and any other applicable confidentiality obligations, each of Parent and Grafiti, on behalf of itself and each member of
its Group, agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the
other Party and the members of such other Party’s Group, at any time before, on or after the Effective Time, as soon as reasonably
practicable after written request therefor is received by such Party, any information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the
control of such Party or its Group which the requesting Party requests to the extent that (i) such information relates to the Grafiti
Business, or any Grafiti Asset or Grafiti Liability, if Grafiti is the requesting Party, or to the Parent Business, or any Parent Asset
or Parent Liability, if Parent is the requesting Party; (ii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with its obligations
under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (iii) such information is required by the requesting Party to comply with any obligation
imposed by any Governmental Authority or under any securities exchange or marketplace rule; provided, however, that, in the event that
the Party to whom the request has been made determines that any such provision of information could be detrimental to the Party providing
the information, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any privilege available under applicable Law, including any attorney-client privilege,
then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit compliance with such obligations to the extent and in a manner that
avoids any such harm or consequence. The Party providing information pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall only be obligated to provide such
information in the form, condition and format in which it then exists, and in no event shall such Party be required to perform any improvement,
modification, conversion, updating or reformatting of any such information, and nothing in this Section 6.1 shall expand the obligations
of a Party under Section 6.4.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, until December 31, 2023 which is the end of Grafiti’s 2023 fiscal year (and for a reasonable
period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit
for such fiscal year), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party’s information
requests to enable (i) the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its earnings releases, financial statements and management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting in accordance
with Items 307 and 308, respectively, of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (ii) the other Party’s accountants
to timely complete their review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements, including, to the
extent applicable to such Party, its auditor’s audit of its internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment
thereof in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC’s and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s
rules and auditing standards thereunder and any other applicable Laws.
6.2 Ownership of Information.
The provision of any information pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.7 shall not affect the ownership of such information (which
shall be determined solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements), or constitute a grant of rights
in or to any such information.
6.3 Compensation
for Providing Information. The Party requesting information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable costs, if any,
of creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise complying with the request with respect to such information (including any
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in any review of information for purposes of protecting the Privileged Information of the providing
Party or in connection with the restoration of backup media for purposes of providing the requested information). Except as may be otherwise
specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties, such costs shall
be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s standard methodology and procedures.
6.4 Record
Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of information pursuant to this Article VI and other provisions of this Agreement after
the Effective Time, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts, which shall be no less rigorous than those used for
retention of such Party’s own information, to retain all information in their respective possession or control at the Effective
Time in accordance with their respective policies regarding retention of records; provided, however, that in the case of any information
relating to Taxes, such retention period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to
any extensions thereof).
6.5 Limitations
of Liability. Neither Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any information exchanged or provided pursuant
to this Agreement is found to be inaccurate in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Party providing
such information. Neither Party shall have any Liability to any other Party if any information is destroyed after commercially reasonable
efforts by such Party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.
6.6 Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information.
(a) The
rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions
on the sharing, exchange, retention, destruction or confidential treatment of information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.
(b) Any
party that receives, pursuant to a request for information in accordance with this Article VI, Tangible Information that is not relevant
to its request shall, at the request of the providing Party, (i) return it to the providing Party or, at the providing Party’s request,
destroy such Tangible Information; and (ii) deliver to the providing Party written confirmation that such Tangible Information was returned
or destroyed, as the case may be, which confirmation shall be signed by an authorized representative of the requesting Party.
6.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.
(a) After
the Effective Time, except in the case of a Dispute between Parent and Grafiti, or any members of their respective Groups, each Party
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available
to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of
the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has
the ability to make available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such
directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection
with any Action in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action
is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection
therewith.
(b) If
a Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third- Party Claim, the other Party shall make available to such Party,
upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its
respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make
available without undue burden, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers,
employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense,
settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense,
settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.
(c) Without
limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.
(d) Without
limiting any provision of this Section 6.7, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group
to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any infringement or similar claim with respect to any Intellectual Property and shall
not claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any
Intellectual Property of a third Person in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or similar claim.
(e) The obligation of the Parties to
provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 6.7 is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and shall
include the obligation to provide as witnesses directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents without regard to whether
such person or the employer of such person could assert a possible business conflict (subject to the exception set forth in the
first sentence of Section 6.7(a)).
(a) The
Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Effective Time have been
and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the members of the Parent Group and the Grafiti Group, and that each of the
members of the Parent Group and the Grafiti Group should be deemed to be the client with respect to such services for the purposes of
asserting all privileges which may be asserted under applicable Law in connection therewith. The Parties recognize that legal and other
professional services will be provided following the Effective Time, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Parent Group or the
Grafiti Group, as the case may be. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall authorize the delivery to or retention by the other
Party of materials existing as of the Effective Time that are necessary for such other Party to perform such services.
(b) The Parties agree as follows:
(i) Parent
shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged
Information that relates solely to the Parent Business and not to the Grafiti Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in
the possession or under the control of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the Grafiti Group. Parent shall also be entitled,
in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that
relates solely to any Parent Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or
not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Parent Group or any member of the Grafiti
Group;
(ii) Grafiti
shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged
Information that relates solely to the Grafiti Business and not to the Parent Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in
the possession or under the control of any member of the Grafiti Group or any member of the Parent Group. Grafiti shall also be entitled,
in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that
relates solely to any Grafiti Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or
not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Grafiti Group or any member of the Parent
Group; and
(iii) if
the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged
Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or
waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information unless the Parties otherwise agree. The Parties shall
use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Parent Business,
solely to the Grafiti Business, or to both the Parent Business and the Grafiti Business.
(c) Subject
to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to
all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b) and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other
matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities
under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the prior written consent of
the other Party.
(d) If any
Dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Groups regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be
waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall
(i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party; and
(iii) not unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Further, each Party specifically
agrees that it shall not withhold its consent to the waiver of a privilege or immunity for any purpose except in good faith to protect
its own legitimate interests.
(e) In
the event of any Dispute between Parent and Grafiti, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in
which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining prior written consent pursuant
to Section 6.8(c); provided that the Parties intend such waiver of a shared privilege to be effective only as to the use of information
with respect to the Action between the Parties or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and is not intended to operate as
a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to any Third Party.
(f) Upon
receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request that may reasonably be
expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which
another Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its, or
any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery
or other requests that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party
shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request (which notice shall be delivered to such other Party no later than
5 business days following the receipt of any such subpoena, discovery or other request) and shall provide the other Party a reasonable
opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 6.8 or otherwise, to
prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.
(g) Any
furnishing of, or access or transfer of, any information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Parent and
Grafiti set forth in this Section 6.8 and in Section 6.9 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain
all applicable privileges and immunities. The Parties agree that their respective rights to any access to information, witnesses and other
Persons, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts between the Parties contemplated by this Agreement, and
the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and members of their respective Groups as needed pursuant to this Agreement,
is not intended to be deemed a waiver of any privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.
(h) In
connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8, the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members
of their Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including
by executing joint defense or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.
6.9 Confidentiality.
(a)
Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.10, from and after the Effective Time each of Parent and Grafiti, on behalf of
itself and each member of its respective Group, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict
confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Parent’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant
to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any
member of the other Party’s Group or their respective businesses (giving effect to the Separation and Distribution) that is
either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary information in its possession prior to the date hereof) or
furnished by any such other Party or any member of such Party’s Group or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant
to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary information other
than for such purposes as shall be expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such
confidential and proprietary information has been (i) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a
result of a disclosure by such Party or any member of such Party’s Group or any of their respective Representatives in
violation of this Agreement, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s
Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of
confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary information, or (iii) independently developed or generated without
reference to or use of any proprietary or confidential information of the other Party or any member of such Party’s Group. If
any confidential and proprietary information of one Party or any member of its Group is disclosed to the other Party or any member
of such other Party’s Group in connection with providing services to such first Party or any member of such first
Party’s Group under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary information
shall be used only as required to perform such services.
(b) No
Release; Return or Destruction. Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information
addressed in Section 6.9(a) to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such
(who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10. Without
limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement, and is no longer subject to any legal hold or other document preservation obligation, each Party will promptly after request
of the other Party either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes,
extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof
and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, that the Parties may retain electronic back-up versions of such information
maintained on routine computer system backup tapes, disks or other backup storage devices; provided further, that any such information
so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party agrees to
comply with all applicable privacy, data protection, data security or other applicable Laws, policies and contracts with regard to the
collection, maintenance, disclosure, retention or destruction of the personal information in its possession, custody or control.
(c) Third-Party Information;
Privacy or Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and members of its Group may presently have and, following the
Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary information of, or legally- protected personal
information relating to, Third Parties (i) that was received under privacy policies or confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements
entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and the other Party or members of such other Party’s Group, on the
other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) that, as between the two Parties, was originally collected by the other Party or
members of such other Party’s Group and that may be subject to and protected by privacy policies, as well as privacy, data
protection or other applicable Laws. Each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause the members of its Group
and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary
information of, or legally-protected personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy policies and
privacy, data protection, data security or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into
before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or
among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand. With
respect to legally-protected personal information received from consumers before the Effective Time, each Party agrees that it will
not use data in a manner that is materially inconsistent with promises made at the time the data was collected unless it first
obtains affirmative express consent from the relevant consumer.
6.10 Protective
Arrangements. In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required
to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental
Authority or securities exchange or marketplace to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s
Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted)
as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense
of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party. In the event that such other Party fails
to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose
or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority,
and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format
so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.
6.11 Security.
(a) If
either Party is given access to the other Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) computer systems or Software (collectively, the “Systems”)
or physical facilities in connection with the exchange of Information under this Agreement, such Party shall comply with all of the other
Party’s reasonable policies, procedures and requirements in relation to Systems or physical facilities (collectively, “Security
Requirements”) and will not tamper with, compromise, attempt to circumvent or circumvent any security or audit measures employed
by such other Party. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Security Requirements, this Agreement will govern. Each
Party shall access and use only those Systems of the other Party for which it has been granted the right to access and use, and only to
the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the provision or receipt, as applicable, of Information. Each Party shall be responsible
for its employees’ compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement in connection with such access, including access
to comingled or sensitive Information.
(b) Each
Party will ensure that only those of its personnel who are specifically authorized to have access to the Systems or physical facilities
of the other Party (or its Affiliates) gain such access, and will prohibit the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss
of Information or other property contained therein, including notifying its personnel of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement
and of the Security Requirements.
(c) If,
at any time, either Party determines that (i) any of its personnel has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, the Security Requirements
of the other Party, (ii) any unauthorized personnel of such Party has accessed the Systems or physical facilities of the other Party,
or (iii) any of the personnel of such Party has engaged in activities that may lead or leads to the unauthorized access, use, destruction,
alteration or loss of Information or Software, such Party shall immediately terminate any such personnel’s access to the Systems
or physical facilities of the other Party and immediately notify the other Party. In addition, each Party shall have the right to deny
the personnel of the other Party access to any Systems or physical facilities upon written notice to the other Party in the event that
such Party reasonably believes that such personnel have engaged in any of the activities set forth above in this Section 6.11(c). Each
Party will cooperate with the other Party in investigating any apparent unauthorized access to the Systems or facilities of the other
Party.
ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
7.1 Good
Faith Offer Negotiation. Subject to Section 7.4, either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are Grafiti Assets, any Liabilities
are Grafiti Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “Dispute”),
shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “Offer Negotiation Request”). Within 15 days of the delivery
of the Offer Negotiation Request, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. All such negotiations
shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating
Officer and who have authority to settle the Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and
settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within
30 days of receipt of the Offer Negotiation Request, and such 30 day period is not extended by mutual written consent of the Parties,
the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations in accordance with Section 7.2.
7.2 Good-Faith
Negotiation. If any Dispute is not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1, the Party that delivered the Offer Negotiation Request shall
provide written notice of such Dispute to the Chief Executive Officer of each Party (a “CEO Negotiation Request”). As soon
as reasonably practicable following receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request, the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties shall begin conducting
good-faith negotiations with respect to such Dispute. All such negotiations shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and
settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties are unable for any reason to
resolve a Dispute within 30 days of receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request, and such 30 day period is not extended by mutual written consent
of the Parties, the Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3.
7.3 Arbitration.
(a) In
the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within 30 days of the receipt of a CEO Negotiation Request in accordance with Section 7.2,
or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (the
“Arbitration Request”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current International
Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR”) arbitration procedure, except as modified herein. The arbitration
shall be held in (i) Palo Alto, California, or (ii) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing. Unless otherwise agreed
by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided (i) before a sole arbitrator if the
amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $1 million; or (ii) by a panel of 3 arbitrators if the
amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $1 million or more.
(b) The
panel of 3 arbitrators will be chosen as follows: (i) within 15 days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party
will name an arbitrator; and (ii) the 2 Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within 30 days from the date on which the second
of the 2 arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal. In the event
that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within 15 days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application
by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the CPR arbitration procedure. In the event that the 2 Party-appointed
arbitrators fail to appoint the third, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the CPR arbitration procedure.
If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of
the Parties within 15 days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request. If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator
during such 15 day period, then upon written application by either party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to
the CPR arbitration procedure.
(c) The
arbitrator(s) will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which it deems proper in the
circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance)
and attorneys’ fees and costs; provided that the arbitrator(s) will not award any relief not specifically requested by the Parties
and, in any event, will not award any indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory
damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability with respect to a
Third-Party Claim). Upon selection of the arbitrator(s) following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant
to Section 7.4, the arbitrator(s) may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the Parties will seek modification or rescission of the order
entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and
binding on the Parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The initiation of arbitration pursuant to this Article
VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.
7.4 Litigation
and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, (a) a Party may seek preliminary
provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1,
Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable damage and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration
before the expiration of the periods specified in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 if such Party has submitted an Offer Negotiation
Request, a CEO Negotiation Request or an Arbitration Request and the other Party has failed to comply with Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or
Section 7.3 in good faith with respect to such negotiation or the commencement and engagement in arbitration. In such event, the other
Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the CPR arbitration procedure.
7.5 Conduct
During Dispute Resolution Process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause the respective members of
their Groups to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements
during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, unless such commitments are the specific subject
of the Dispute at issue.
ARTICLE VIII
FURTHER ASSURANCES AND ADDITIONAL
COVENANTS
8.1 Further Assurances.
(a) In
addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts,
prior to, on and after the Effective Time, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
(b) Without
limiting the foregoing, prior to, on and after the Effective Time, each Party hereto shall cooperate with the other Party, and without
any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party, to execute and deliver, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause
to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and to make all filings with,
and to obtain all Approvals or Notifications of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person under any permit, license, agreement,
indenture or other instrument (including any consents or Governmental Approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may
reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements,
in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transfers of the Grafiti Assets
and the Parent Assets and the assignment and assumption of the Grafiti Liabilities and the Parent Liabilities and the other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the other
Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets allocated
to such Party under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest, if and to the extent it
is practicable to do so.
(c) On
or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Grafiti, in their respective capacities as direct and indirect stockholders of the members
of their Groups, shall each ratify any actions which are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by Parent, Grafiti or any of the
members of their respective Groups, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
9.1 Termination. This Agreement and
all Ancillary Agreements may be terminated and the Distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned at any time prior to the
Effective Time by Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the approval or consent of any other Person, including
Grafiti. After the Effective Time, this Agreement may not be terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by a duly
authorized officer of each of the Parties.
9.2 Effect
of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time, no Party (nor any of its directors,
officers or employees) shall have any Liability or further obligation to the other Party by reason of this Agreement.
ARTICLE
X MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Counterparts; Entire Agreement; Corporate Power.
(a) This
Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other
Parties.
(b) This
Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Exhibits, Schedules and appendices hereto and thereto contain the entire agreement between
and among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings,
understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings between
and among the Parties other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements together
govern the arrangements in connection with the Separation and Distribution and would not have been entered independently.
(c) Parent
represents on behalf of itself and each other member of the Parent Group, and Grafiti represents on behalf of itself and each other member
of the Grafiti Group, as follows:
(i) each
such Person has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby; and
(ii) this
Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of it enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.
(d) Each
Party acknowledges that it and each other Party is executing certain of the Ancillary Agreements by facsimile, stamp, electronic (including
via DocuSign) or mechanical signature, and that delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement (whether executed by manual, stamp, electronic (including via DocuSign) or mechanical signature) by facsimile or by email in
portable document format (PDF) shall be effective as delivery of such executed counterpart of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
Each Party expressly adopts and confirms each such facsimile, stamp, electronic (including via DocuSign) or mechanical signature (regardless
of whether delivered in person, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in portable document format (PDF)) made in its respective
name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate
to bind such Party to the same extent as if it were signed manually and delivered in person and agrees that, at the reasonable request
of the other Party at any time, it will as promptly as reasonably practicable cause each such Ancillary Agreement to be manually executed

10.2 Governing
Law. This Agreement and, unless expressly provided therein, each Ancillary Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or
related hereto or thereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or to the inducement of any Party to enter herein and

such consent shall be required for the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
(except as may be otherwise provided in any such Ancillary Agreement) in whole (i.e., the assignment of a party’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in connection with a change of control of a Party so long as the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person assumes all the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursuant to
an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.
10.4 Third-Party
Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not
intended to confer upon any Person except the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, and there are no third-party beneficiaries of
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Agreement shall provide any third person
with any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this

or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.
10.7
Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement or, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, any
Ancillary Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) hereunder or thereunder so
long as and to the extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or
delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. In the event of any such excused delay, the time for performance of such
obligations (other than a payment obligation) shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. A Party
claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event, (a) provide
written notice to the other Party of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition; and (b) use commercially reasonable
efforts to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, as soon
as reasonably practicable.
10.8 No

Party nor any member of such Party’s Group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts

of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will be borne by Parent.
10.10 Headings.
The article, section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Agreements are for reference purposes only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
10.11 Survival
of Covenants. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and Liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, shall survive
the Separation and the Distribution and shall remain in full force and effect.
10.12 Waivers
of Default. Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall
not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party.
No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
10.13 Specific
Performance. Subject to the provisions of Article VII, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved
shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement
or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies
shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate
compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.
Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.
10.14 Amendments.
No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless
such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom
it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Company Meeting will not change in respect
or as a consequence of any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Company Meeting, unless

| (d) | that, in all other respects, the terms,
restrictions and conditions of the Company’s Organizational Documents, including quorum

of Arrangement; |
| (f) | for the notice requirements with respect
to the presentation of the application to the Court for the Final Order; |
| (g) | that the Company Meeting may be adjourned
or postponed from time to time by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement

| (h) | that it is the Company’s intention
to rely upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities
Act with respect to the issuance of Spinco Common Shares and other securities of Spinco as
described herein to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement to Company Securityholders upon
completion of the Arrangement, based on the Court’s determination that the Arrangement
is substantially and procedurally fair and reasonable to the Company Shareholders participating
in the Arrangement; and |
| (i) | for such other matters as the Parent or
Spinco may reasonably require, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the Company, acting
reasonably. |
The Company shall:
| (a) | subject to and in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Company’s Organizational Documents
and Law, convene and conduct the Company Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable (and no
later than within twenty (20) days following receipt of the Interim Order), and set the record
date for the Company Shareholders entitled to vote at the Company Meeting as promptly as
practicable, and not adjourn, postpone or cancel (or propose the adjournment, postponement
or cancellation of) the Company Meeting without the prior written consent of Spinco, acting
reasonably, or as required by Law or by a Governmental Authority; |
| (b) | subject to the terms of this Agreement
and compliance by the directors and officers of the Company with their fiduciary duties,

Resolution and against any resolution submitted by any Person that is inconsistent with the
Arrangement Resolution and the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; |
| (c) | give notice to Spinco of the Company Meeting
and allow Spinco’s representatives and legal counsel to attend the Company Meeting; |
| (d) | as promptly as reasonably practicable,

following receipt of proxy tallies over the last three Business Days prior to the date of
the Company Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company in
respect of the Arrangement Resolution and provide the right to Spinco to demand postponement

communication (written or oral) from or claims brought by (or threatened to be brought by)
any Person in opposition to the Arrangement and any purported exercise or withdrawal of Dissent
Rights by Company Shareholders; and |
| (f) | not make any payment or settlement offer,
or agree to any payment or settlement with respect to Dissent Rights, without the prior written
consent of Spinco, acting reasonably. |
| (a) | Subject to Spinco’s compliance with
Section 1.4(c), the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and
complete, in consultation with Spinco as contemplated by this Section 1.4(a), the Company
Circular together with any other documents required by Law in connection with the Company
Meeting, and the Company shall, promptly after obtaining the Interim Order, cause the Company
Circular and such other documents to be filed and sent to each Company Shareholder and other
Persons as required by the Interim Order and Law, in each case so as to permit the Company
Meeting to be held by the date specified in Section 1.3. |
| (b) | The Company shall ensure that the Company
Circular complies in all material respects with Law, does not contain any misrepresentation
(provided that the Company shall not be responsible for the accuracy of any information furnished
by the Parent for purposes of inclusion in the Company Circular pursuant to Section 1.4(c))
and provides the Company Shareholders with sufficient information to permit them to form
a reasoned judgement concerning the matters to be placed before the Company Meeting. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company Circular must include: (i) a statement
that the Company Board has determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the
Company and is fair to the Company Shareholders and the Company Board unanimously recommends
that Company Shareholders vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution (the “Company
Board Recommendation”); and (ii) a statement that each executive officer and director
of the Company who owns Company Shares or holds Company Options intends to vote all of such
Person’s Company Shares (including any Company Shares issued upon the exercise of any
Company Options) in favor of the Arrangement Resolution. |
| (c) | The Company shall give Spinco and its
legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the Company Circular
and other related documents, and shall accept the reasonable comments made by Spinco and
its legal counsel, and agrees that all information relating solely to Spinco or any of its
affiliates included in the Company Circular must be in a form consistent with the information
provided to the Company by the Parent. The Company shall provide Spinco with a final copy
of the Company Circular in connection with its mailing to Company Shareholders, |
| (d) | Spinco shall provide to the Company all
information regarding the Parent and its affiliates as required by the Interim Order or Laws
for inclusion in the Company Circular or in any amendments or supplements to such Company
Circular. The Parent shall ensure that such information does not include any material misrepresentation
concerning the Parent or its affiliates. |
| (e) | Each Party shall promptly notify the other
Parties if it becomes aware that the Company Circular contains a misrepresentation, or otherwise
requires an amendment or supplement. The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any
such amendment or supplement as required or appropriate, and the Company shall promptly mail,
file or otherwise publicly disseminate any such amendment or supplement to the Company Shareholders
and, if required by the Court or by Law, file the same with any other Governmental Authority. |
| (a) | If the Interim Order is obtained and the
Arrangement Resolution is passed at the Company Meeting as provided for in the Interim Order,
the Company shall take all steps necessary or desirable to submit the Arrangement to the
Court and diligently pursue an application for the Final Order pursuant to Part 9 Division
5 of the BCBCA, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than three
(3) Business Days after the date on which the Arrangement Resolution is passed at the Company
Meeting as provided for in the Interim Order. |
| (a) | In connection with all Court proceedings
relating to obtaining the Interim Order and the Final Order, the Company shall diligently
pursue, and cooperate with Spinco in diligently pursuing, the Interim Order and the Final
Order, and the Company will provide Spinco and its legal counsel with reasonable opportunity
to review and comment upon drafts of all materials to be filed with the Court in connection
with the Arrangement, prior to the service and filing of such materials, and will accept
the reasonable comments of Spinco and its legal counsel with respect to any information required
to be supplied by Spinco and included in such materials. The Company will not file any material
with the Court in connection with the Plan of Arrangement or serve any such material, and

the Spinco Common Shares, held through the DTC or CDS, Spinco and the Company shall cooperate

surrender procedures, the applicable Spinco Common Shares to be exchanged for such Book-Entry
Shares held through the DTC or CDS, as applicable. |
| (d) | Each holder of Company Shares, Company
Notes and Company SAFEs shall be entitled to receive its share of the Amalgamation Consideration
in respect of the Company Securities tendered for exchange, within 30 days after the Effective

if any, for its Company Shares (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or a properly completed
and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and (ii) such other documents as may be reasonably
requested by the Exchange Agent or Spinco. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate
shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such
portion of the Amalgamation Consideration attributable to such Company Certificate. |
| (e) | If any portion of the Amalgamation Consideration
is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered
Company Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a

Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes

| (f) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in the event that any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen
or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, the Company Shareholder
may instead deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity
of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Spinco (a “Lost Certificate
Affidavit”), which at the reasonable discretion of Spinco may include a requirement
that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate deliver a bond in such
sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Spinco
or the Company with respect to the Company Shares represented by the Certificates alleged
to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Any Lost Certificate Affidavit properly delivered
in accordance with this Section 1.18(f) shall be treated as a Company Certificate for
all purposes of this Agreement. |
| (g) | After the Effective Time, there shall
be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares. If, after the Effective Time,
the Transmittal Documents are presented to Spinco or the Exchange Agent, the Company Shares
and any Company Certificates representing such Company Shares shall be exchanged for the
applicable portion of the Amalgamation Consideration, and in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section 1.18. No dividends or other distributions declared or made
after the date of this Agreement with respect to Spinco Common Shares with a record date
after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Shares that has not yet
been surrendered with respect to the Spinco Common Shares to be issued upon surrender thereof
until the holders of record of such Company Shares shall surrender the Company Certificates,
if any (or provide a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or provide the other Transmittal Documents.
Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates, if any (or
delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or delivery of the other Transmittal Documents,
Spinco shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates
(if any) representing the Spinco Common Shares issued in exchange therefor and the amount
of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such Spinco Common Shares. |
| (h) | All securities issued upon the surrender
of Company Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities. |
| (i) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no fraction of a Spinco Common Share will be issued by virtue of the Amalgamation
or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each Person who would otherwise
be entitled to a fraction of a Spinco Common Share (after aggregating all fractional Spinco
Common Shares that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number
of Spinco Common Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest
whole Spinco Common Share. |
Spinco, the Company, the Damon Surviving
Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Amalgamation Consideration and any other amounts issuable
or payable hereunder (whether in cash or kind) such amounts as the applicable party may be required to deduct and withhold therefrom
under any applicable Law in respect of Taxes. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate
Governmental Authority when required by applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having
been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Spinco, the Company, the Damon Surviving Company and the
Exchange Agent, as applicable, may sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Amalgamation Consideration or other amount otherwise
payable to such Person in the form of Spinco Common Shares as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to enable the withholding party
to comply with such deduction or withholding requirements, and none of Spinco, the Company, the Damon Surviving Company or the Exchange
Agent, as applicable, shall be liable to any Person for any deficiency in respect of any proceeds received, and Spinco, the Company,
the Damon Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder thereof any
unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.
The Parties agree that the Arrangement
will be carried out with the intention that all Spinco Common Shares and other securities of Spinco issuable pursuant to the Arrangement
to Company Securityholders upon completion of the Arrangement in connection therewith will be issued by Spinco in reliance on the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder, or another applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In order to ensure the availability of the exemption under Section 3(a)(10)
of the Securities Act, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will, to the extent practical, be carried out on the following basis:
| (a) | the Arrangement will be subject to the
approval of the Court, and the Court must approve the procedural and substantive fairness
of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement; |
| (b) | the Court will be advised, prior to the
hearing required to approve the Interim Order, as to the intention of the Parties to rely
on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act
for the issuance of all Spinco Common Shares and other securities of Spinco issuable pursuant
to the Arrangement to Company Securityholders upon completion of the Arrangement based on
the Court’s approval of the Arrangement; |
| (c) | the Court will be required to find, before
approving the Arrangement, that the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are fair procedurally
and substantively to Company Securityholders participating in the Arrangement; |
| (d) | the Court will be required to hold a hearing
before approving the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, and such hearing
must be open to every Company Securityholder to whom securities would be issued in the Arrangement; |
| (e) | prior to the issuance of the Interim Order,
the Company will file with the Court a copy of the proposed text of the Company Circular
together with any other documents required by Law in connection with the Meeting; |
| (f) | Company will ensure that each Company
Securityholder will be given adequate notice advising them of their right to attend the hearing
of the Court at which the Court will consider the procedural and substantive fairness of
the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and providing them with sufficient information
necessary for them to exercise that right; |
| (g) | holders of Company Warrants entitled to
receive Converted Warrants and holders of Company Options entitled to receive Converted Options
pursuant to the Arrangement will be advised that the Converted Warrants and Converted Options
issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been registered under the Securities Act and
will be issued and exchanged by the holders of Company Warrants and Company Options, respectively,
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities
Act, but that such exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercise
of such Converted Warrants or Converted Options and that; therefore, the Spinco Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Converted Warrants and Converted Options cannot be issued in
the U.S. or to a person in the U.S. in reliance on the exemption from registration provided
by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, and such Spinco Common Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Converted Warrants and Converted Options may only be issued and subsequently
resold pursuant to one or more alternative exemptions from registration or an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and compliance with applicable state securities laws; |
| (h) | Company Shareholders will be advised that
the Spinco Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for Company
Shares and Company Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued
by Spinco in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities
Act and in the case of Company Shareholders that are, or, have been within 90 days of the
Effective Date, affiliates of Spinco or the Company, will be subject to restrictions on resale
under the securities laws of the United States; |
| (i) | the Interim Order approving the Meeting
will specify that each Company Securityholder will have the right to appear before the Court
at the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement so long as they enter an
appearance within a reasonable time; |
| (j) | the Final Order approving the terms and
conditions of the Arrangement that is obtained from the Court will expressly state that the
Arrangement is approved by the Court as being procedurally and substantively fair to Company
Securityholders, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions on which all
persons to whom it was proposed to issue the securities had a right to appear (following
such persons’ receipt of timely and adequate notice of the hearing, and without any
improper impediments to their appearance at the hearing), and after a finding by the Court
of such fairness; |
| (k) | the Court will hold a hearing before approving
the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement; and |
| (l) | the Final Order shall include a statement
to substantially the following effect: “This Order will serve as a basis of a claim
to an exemption, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, from the registration
requirements otherwise imposed by that act, regarding the distribution of securities of Spinco
in connection with the Arrangement approved hereby”. |
| 1.21 | Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. |
If, at any time after the Effective
Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including to vest the Damon Surviving
Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the
officers and directors of Spinco, Amalco Sub and the Company are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise
to take, and will use their best efforts to take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with
this Agreement.

from any third party (including any Governmental Authority) alleging (A) that the Consent of such third party is or may be required in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) any material non-compliance with any Law by such Person or its
Affiliates (or any non-compliance with any Law anticipated to result in a Material Adverse Effect); (iii) receives any notice or other
communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) discovers any fact
or circumstance that, or becomes aware of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would
make any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, false or untrue, would constitute a breach of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement, or would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any of the conditions to the Effective Date set forth
in this Agreement, not being satisfied or the satisfaction of those conditions being materially delayed; or (v) becomes aware of the commencement
or threat, in writing, of any Action against such Person or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective properties or assets, or,
to the actual knowledge of such Person, any officer, director, partner, member or manager, in his, her or its capacity as such, of such
Person or of its Affiliates with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No such notice shall
constitute an acknowledgement or admission by the Party providing the notice regarding whether or not any of the conditions to the Effective
Date have been satisfied or in determining whether or not any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement
have been breached.
| (a) | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate fully with the other Parties, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to
be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (including obtaining all applicable Consents of Governmental Authorities) and to comply as promptly as practicable with
all requirements of Governmental Authorities applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
| (b) | As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate
with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prepare
and file with Governmental Authorities requests for approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to have such Governmental Authorities approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall give
prompt written notice to the other Parties if such Party or any of its Representatives receives any notice from such Governmental Authorities
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall promptly furnish the other Parties with a copy of such Governmental
Authority notice. If any Governmental Authority requires that a hearing or meeting be held in connection with its approval of the transactions
contemplated hereby, whether prior to the Effective Date or after the Effective Date, each Party shall arrange for Representatives of
such Party to be present for such hearing or meeting. If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement under any applicable Law or if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any applicable Governmental
Authority or any private Person challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document as violative
of any applicable Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions so as to timely
permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including in order to resolve such
objections or Actions which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted)
by a Governmental Authority or private Person challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any Ancillary Document,
the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether
temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents. |
| (c) | Prior to the Effective Date, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consents
of Governmental Authorities or other third Persons as may be necessary for the consummation by such Party or its Affiliates of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or required as a result of the execution or performance of, or consummation of the transactions contemplated
by, this Agreement by such Party or its Affiliates, and the other Parties shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with such
efforts. |
| (d) | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable Law, the Parties shall consult
and cooperate with one another in connection with any filings or notifications submitted to DCSA or any other Governmental Authority made
in connection with the Parent or Spinco maintaining applicable clearances, including any facility security clearance. |
| (e) | Except as set forth in Section 6.10(e) below, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 shall be
deemed to require Spinco, the Parent or the Company, and, the Company shall not be permitted (without the written consent of the the Parent),
to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition, commitment or restriction, in connection with obtaining the
foregoing Permits, consents, Orders, approvals, waivers, non-objections and authorizations of Governmental Authorities that would reasonably
be expected to be materially financially burdensome to the business, operations, financial condition or results of operations on the business
of the Company, or on the business of Spinco or the Parent (which restriction, commitment, or condition could include materially increasing
capital, divesting or reducing lines of businesses or asset classes, entering into compliance or remediation programs, and making material
lending or investment commitments). |
| (a) | The Company shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other
similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to which it or Spinco is subject (collectively,
the “Transfer Taxes”) and file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable
Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other document.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate in
good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes. |
| (b) | Spinco and the Company agree and intend that for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income
tax purposes, the Amalgamation qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. Spinco and the Company will prepare and file all applicable U.S.
federal (and applicable state and local) Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position
on any Tax Return unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code that
such treatment is not correct. Spinco and the Company shall act in a manner that is consistent with such Party’s intention that
the Amalgamation be treated in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, and shall
not take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, if such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the
Arrangement from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. Spinco and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each other and their
respective legal counsel to document and support the Intended Tax Treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, none of the Parties makes any representation, warranty or covenant to any other Party
or Company Shareholder or Company Securityholder regarding the U.S. tax treatment of the Arrangement or any component thereof. |
| (c) | This Agreement is and is hereby adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368
of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Amalgamation. |
| (d) | The Parties shall execute and deliver (i) officer’s certificates, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to counsel to the Parent or counsel to the Company, as applicable, in a timely manner upon request by the other Party and
(ii) any other representations reasonably requested by counsel to the Parent or counsel to the Company, as applicable, as is reasonably
necessary for purposes of rendering opinions regarding the Intended Tax Treatment and other tax matters in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, at such time or times as may be requested by counsel to the Parent or counsel to the Company, in connection
with any filing with the SEC or the Canadian Securities Administrators. In the event the SEC requests or requires a tax opinion on the
Intended Tax Treatment, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause Dorsey & Whitney LLP to deliver such opinion subject
to the assumptions, qualifications, and reasoning as determined by such counsel. |
| 6.12 | The Registration Statement. |
| (a) | As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Spinco shall prepare, with the reasonable assistance
of the Parent and the Company, and Spinco shall file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form 10 or Form S-1 (as amended or supplemented
from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act of Spinco Common Shares to be distributed to the Parent Securityholders in the Spinout. The Company shall provide the Parent
and Spinco with such information concerning the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition
(financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or
in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not materially misleading. |
| (b) | Spinco shall take all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities
Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement. Each of Spinco, the Parent and the Company shall make their
respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to each other and their respective Representatives
in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the Spinout and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including the Registration Statement. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement
(and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material
respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Spinco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration
Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Parent’s and the Spinco’s respective Organizational Documents. |
| (c) | Spinco, with the assistance of the other Parties, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration
Statement and shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments
from the SEC and become effective. Spinco shall provide the Parent and the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform
the Parent and the Company of any material oral comments, that Spinco or its Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect
to the Registration Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Parent, the Company and their respective
counsel a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or material oral responses to such
comments, and Spinco shall consider any such comments timely made in good faith under the circumstances. |
| (d) | Spinco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of the Stock Exchange
and Spinco’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement. |

Spinco to become a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia immediately after the Effective Time. The Non-Offering Prospectus
shall be comprised of the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and supplemented by the required disclosure under applicable
Canadian securities laws. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section 6.12 regarding the Registration Statement
shall apply to the Non-Offering Prospectus, mutatis mutandis, and Section 5.29, Section 2.7 and Section 6.4 shall be
deemed to refer to the Registration Statement and the Non-Offering Prospectus. |
| 6.13 | Public Announcements. |
| (a) | The Parties agree that during the Interim Period no public release, filing or announcement concerning
this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be issued by any Party or any of their
Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Parent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange,
in which case the applicable Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on,
and arrange for any required filing with respect to, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not prohibit the Parent, Spinco and their respective Representatives from providing general information about the
subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to any direct or indirect current or prospective investor, or

to Section 6.2 and this Section 6.13, the foregoing shall not prohibit any Party from communicating with third parties to the
extent necessary for the purpose of seeking any required third party consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent, Spinco and the
Company may only make statements that are consistent with previous public information made by such Party in compliance with this Section 6.13. |

issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement (the “Signing Press Release”). Promptly after the
issuance of the Signing Press Release, the Parent shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with

have the opportunity to review and comment prior to filing and the Parent shall consider any such comments in good faith. The Parties

officers and equity holders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, or any other report, statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of a Party to any third party or any Governmental
Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. |

Parent), nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the

event that such protective Order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Parent waives compliance with this Section 6.14(a), furnish
only that portion of such Parent Confidential Information which is legally required to be provided as advised in writing by outside counsel
and to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Parent Confidential
Information. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, the Company
shall, and shall cause its respective Representatives to, promptly deliver to the Parent or destroy (at the Parent’s election) any
and all copies (in whatever form or medium) of the Parent Confidential Information and destroy all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses,

terminated in accordance with Article IX, for a period of two (2) years after such termination, becomes legally compelled to disclose
any Company Confidential Information, (A) provide the Company to the extent legally permitted with prompt written notice of such requirement
so that the Company may seek, at the Company’s sole expense, a protective Order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 6.14(b)
and (B) in the event that such protective Order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company waives compliance with this Section 6.14(b),
furnish only that portion of such Company Confidential Information which is legally required to be provided as advised in writing by outside

transactions contemplated hereby and are included herein in order to induce the Parties to enter into this Agreement, and further that

Party for all or any portion of such unpaid amount, then the non-paying Party shall pay the other Party’s costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such suit, together with interest on any such amounts at the prime

| 10.2 | Binding Effect; Assignment. |
This Agreement and all of the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement
shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Parent and the Company, and any assignment
without such consent shall be null and void; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder.
Except for the rights of the D&O
Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 6.16, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this
Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party
or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.
| 10.4 | Governing Law; Jurisdiction. |
This Agreement shall be governed by,
construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal Laws applicable therein, without
regard to any choice of law or conflict of laws principles thereof that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other
than the Province of British Columbia. Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the British Columbia
courts situated in the City of Vancouver and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides
an inconvenient forum.
| 10.5 | Waiver of Jury Trial. |
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.5.
| 10.6 | Remedies; Specific Performance. |
Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or
by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The
failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money
damages would be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties would not have adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would
occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific
terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security
or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled
under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific
performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties
have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.
In case any provision in this Agreement
shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction
involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability
of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and
equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision.
This Agreement may be amended, supplemented
or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by all the Parties.
The Parent on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates, the Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, may each in its sole discretion (a) extend the time for the performance
of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such
other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by such other non-Affiliated
Party with any covenant or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument
in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising
any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
of any other right hereunder.
This Agreement and the documents or
instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein
by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject
matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those

or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. To the extent that any Contract,
document, certificate or instrument is represented and warranted to by the Company to be given, delivered, provided or made available
by the Company, in order for such Contract, document, certificate or instrument to have been deemed to have been given, delivered, provided

(nn) No
Disqualification Events. With respect to the Securities to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities
Act, none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company

506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification

and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

(qq) No
Other Brokers; No Solicitation. Except with respect to Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC, a registered broker-dealer, the Company has taken

this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company represents and warrants that neither the Purchasers nor its employee(s),
member(s), beneficial owner(s), or partner(s) solicited the Company to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions described
in this Agreement. The Company represents and warrants that neither the Purchasers nor its employee(s), member(s), beneficial owner(s),

3.2
Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents
and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which
case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a)
Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance
by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which
it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i)
as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited
by applicable law.
(b)
Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the
distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a registration statement covering the resale of such security
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in
the ordinary course of its business.
(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in
the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result
of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar
media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation
or general advertisement.
(f)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and
to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the
merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of
operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, and the investor presentation
attached as Exhibit H to this Agreement and term sheet attached as Exhibit I to this Agreement; and (iii) the opportunity
to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document
or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation
or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions
in the future.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with United States state and federal securities laws, the securities law of Canada
and the constating documents of the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Securities are being offered in a
transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act or qualified for distribution to the public under applicable securities laws in Canada. The
Company is not a “reporting issuer” as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia) or the equivalent in any
jurisdiction of Canada and, accordingly, the Securities will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities
laws, including National Instrument 45-1–02 - Resale of Securities. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may– require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement, and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b)
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the
following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR
THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE]
[CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES
LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] MUST NOT TRADE THE
SECURITY [OR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY AFTER
THE LATER OF (I) THE CLOSING DATE, AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY CANADIAN PROVINCE OR TERRITORY.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time-to-time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a
registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer
would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall
be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities have been registered for
resale pursuant to a registration statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3)
under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders
thereunder.
(c)
Certificates (which, for all purposes in this Agreement, may be book-entry security entitlements representing Common Shares)
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a
registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), except as may be required pursuant to
Canadian securities laws. The Company shall, at its expense to the extent reasonable, cause its counsel (or if the Company does not
so cause its counsel, counsel as may be determined by such Purchaser) to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the
Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser,
respectively subject to compliance with the Securities Act, Rule 144 and/or Canadian securities laws (for the avoidance of doubt,
the Company shall pay all reasonable costs associated with such opinions). If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, if such
Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144, or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such Underlying
Shares shall be issued free of all legends, subject to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company agrees that at such time as
such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than two (2) Business Days following the delivery by
a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a
restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such
Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any
notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the
Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by
such Purchaser, if such option is available.
(d) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.
4.2
Furnishing of Information. Until the earlier of the date on which no Purchaser owns Securities and the date on which the
Company or any successor thereto becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants to furnish to
each Purchaser:

thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP, as required);
(c)
as soon as practicable, after a change of more than ten percent (10%) of the stock ownership of the Company, a statement showing

or exercisable for Common Shares and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, and the number of shares of issued stock
options and stock options not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any, all in sufficient detail as to permit the Purchasers to calculate
their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company, and certified by the Chief Executive Officer or senior finance officer of
the Company as being true, complete, and correct; and
(d)
such other information relating to the financial condition, business, or corporate affairs of the Company as the Majority Purchasers
(as defined in this Agreement) may from time-to-time reasonably request.
4.3
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any
security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner
that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval
prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4
Conversion and Exercise Procedures.
(a) Automatic
Conversion – Public Company Event. As further described in the Note, upon the closing of a Public Company Event (or, in
the case of a direct listing, upon the date which is ten (10) trading days following the date of the direct listing), the
Outstanding Amount shall automatically be converted into such number of Listed Securities obtained by dividing the Outstanding
Amount by the lesser of (i) the then applicable Conversion Price or (ii) Public Company Event Conversion Price.
(b)
Voluntary Conversion. The Purchaser shall have the right, at any time when an Event of Default (as defined in the Note)
exists and remains uncured, to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Amount into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares,
as such Common Shares exist on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common
Shares shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Default Conversion Price (as defined in the Note).
(c)
Process. Each of the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes and the form of Notice of Exercise included in the
Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants. Without
limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion
guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise form be required in order to
convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers
to convert their Notes or exercise their Warrants. The Company shall honor conversions of the Notes and exercises of the Warrants, and
shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions, and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.5
Publicity. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make
any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, except if such disclosure required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior
notice of such public statement or communication (except with respect to filings with the Commission by the Company). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with
the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required
by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice
of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.6
Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other
Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter
adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of
receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.7
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and
other general corporate purposes, as well as going- public transactions, and shall not use such proceeds for any other purpose, including

officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any material breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or
(b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of
such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is
solely based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence
or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been
specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such
defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any
material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any
Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim,
damage or liability is attributable to (a) any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any Purchaser
Party’s violation of any law. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity
agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company
or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.9
Participation in Future Financing.
(a)
From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the date that twelve (12) months after the Closing Date or (ii) the date that the
respective Purchaser no longer beneficially owns its Note, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Shares
or Common Share Equivalents for consideration, excluding any issuance of Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents pursuant to the terms
of any existing outstanding securities of the Company (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Purchasers shall, in the
aggregate, have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Subsequent
Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent
Financing. With respect to the Participation Maximum, each individual Purchaser shall have the right to participate in an amount equal
to the pro-rata percentage of such Purchaser’s then outstanding principal amount of its Note as compared to the then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes of all other Purchasers.
(b)
Between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior
to the Business Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing (or, if the Business Day of the expected announcement of
the Subsequent Financing is the first Business Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period
of 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the
day immediately prior to the Business Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing), the Company shall deliver to each
Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (a “Subsequent Financing Notice”),
which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be
raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include
a term sheet and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment.
(c)
Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by 6:30 am (New York
City time) on the Business Day following the date on which the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Purchaser (the “Notice
Termination Time”) that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s
participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the
terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such Notice Termination
Time, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Financing.
(d)
If, by the Notice Termination Time, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing
(or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company
may impact the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing
Notice.
(e)
The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right
of participation set forth above in this Section 4.9, if the definitive agreement related to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is
not entered into for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within five (5) Business Days after the date
of delivery of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(f)
The Company and each Purchaser agree that, if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction
documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended
to, exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby
such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required
to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.
(g)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, if the Common Shares
are then quoted or listed on a Trading Market, then the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction
with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent
Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information,
by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.
If by 9:30 am (New York City time) on such fifth (5th) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect
to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser,
such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public
information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(h)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.9 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance or a Public Company Event.
4.10 Most
Favored Nation. While the Note or any principal amount, interest or fees or expenses due thereunder remain outstanding and
unpaid, the Company shall not enter into any public or private offering of its securities (including securities convertible into
Common Shares) with any individual or entity (an “Other Investor”) that has the effect of establishing
rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Investor in a manner more favorable in any material respect to such Other Investor (even
if the Other Investor does not receive the benefit of such more favorable term until a default occurs under such other security)
than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Purchaser by this Agreement or the Note unless, in any such case, the
Purchaser has been provided with such rights and benefits pursuant to a definitive written agreement or agreements between the
Company and the Purchaser.
4.11
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered
or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest
on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at any applicable time.
For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately
by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers
acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.12
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation
D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly
upon request of any Purchaser.
4.13
D&O Lock-Up. On the date of this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees to cause each of the members of the Company’s
Board of Directors and executive officers to enter into the Lock-Up Agreement.
4.14 Board
Observer. At any time when a Purchaser, together with its permitted transferees, holds one or more Notes with an outstanding
principal amount of at least $5,000,000, such Purchaser shall have the right to appoint one individual to serve as an observer (the
“Board Observer”) on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);
provided, however, that the selection of the Board Observer shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Company, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld (it being understood and agreed that the Board Observer shall not be a member of the Board).
The Board Observer shall be subject to the rights and responsibilities as set forth in this Section 4.14. The Company shall invite
the Board Observer to attend all meetings of Board in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, and subject to the Board
Observer’s having informed the Company that it wishes to attend, the Company shall give the Board Observer copies of all
notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as
provided to such directors; provided, however, that the Board Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a
fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and provided further, that Company shall have the right to withhold
any information and to exclude the Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if (A) access to such information or
attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel; (B) result in
disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest; or (C) if the Company is advised by legal counsel that such exclusion is
required in connection with the fiduciary or other duties or obligations of the Board, provided that in such case the Company shall
notify the Board Observer in writing that information has been so withheld from the Board Observer (provided that, for the avoidance
of doubt, such information shall not be required to be provided to the Board Observer). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
4.14 shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a Public Company Event, and any Board Observer in existence at such time
shall have no further observation or other rights pursuant to this Section 4.14.
4.15
Registration Rights.
(a)
Registration Statement. Promptly, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the occurrence of a Public
Company Event (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. The foregoing Registration Statement shall be filed on Form S-1 or Form S-3
or equivalent or any successor forms thereto. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for
acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to the Purchasers and its counsel at least five (5) Business Days prior to its
filing or other submission and the Company shall incorporate all reasonable comments provided by the Purchasers or its counsel.
(b)
Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance
of or compliance with this Section 4.15, including all fees and expenses associated with effecting the registration of the Registrable
Securities, including all filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with
clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of one counsel to
the Purchasers and the Purchaser’s reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions,
fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities
being sold.
(c)
Effectiveness. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective
as soon as practicable after filing thereof but in no event later than the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the occurrence
of a Public Company Event (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Company shall notify the Purchaser by e-mail as
promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after the Registration Statement is declared effective and shall
simultaneously provide the Purchaser with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition
of the securities covered thereby.
(d) Piggyback
Registration Rights. In addition to the aforementioned registration rights, if the Company at any time determines to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale, by the Company, of Common Shares (other than on (x)
Form S-8 under the Securities Act, or any successor forms thereto or (y) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering
and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangements),
the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice to the Purchasers of its intention to so register the
offer and sale of Common Shares and, upon the written request, given within five (5) Business Days after delivery of any such notice
by the Company, of the Purchasers to include in such registration the Registrable Securities, the Company shall cause all such
Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement on the same terms and conditions as the Common Shares otherwise
being sold pursuant to such registered offering.
(e)
Additional Obligations. The Company will use its commercially efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(i)
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective
for a period that will terminate upon the first date on which all Registrable Securities are either covered by the Registration Statement
or may be sold without restriction, including volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, pursuant to Rule 144 or have been sold by the Purchasers
(the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Purchasers in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;
(ii)
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;
(iii)
provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Purchasers to review all amendments and supplements to the Registration
Statement no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably
objects;
(iv)
furnish to the Purchasers and its legal counsel, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed,
filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending
date, as the case may be) one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and
each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to the Registration Statement (other than any
portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies
of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as the Purchasers
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities that are covered by the related Registration
Statement;
(v)
immediately notify the Purchasers of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or for additional information;
(vi) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such
order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment and notify the Company of the issuance of any
such order and the resolution thereof, or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose;
(vii)
prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the Purchasers and its counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and
sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Purchasers and do any and all other commercially reasonable
acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Purchasers covered by the Registration Statement
and the Company shall promptly notify the Purchasers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of such Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions or its receipt of notice of
the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose;
(viii)
immediately notify the Purchasers, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening
of any event as a result of which, the Registration Statement or Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Prospectus,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made), and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement
to or an amendment of such Registration Statement or Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of such Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made;
(ix)
otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act; and
(x)
take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Purchasers of all Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(f)
Cutbacks.
(i)
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 4.15, if the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise, be registered for resale
as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform the Purchasers and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file amendments to any effective Registration Statements (or file separate Registration Statements) as required
by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-1 (or if available,
Form S-3) to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such
amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all
of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable SEC guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation
612.09.
(ii)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.15, if the SEC sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering, the number of Registrable Securities to be
registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced by reducing or eliminating any securities to be included other than Registrable
Securities. In the event of such a cutback, the Company shall give the Purchasers at least five (5) calendar days prior written notice
along with the calculations as to the Purchaser’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement in accordance
with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC or
applicable SEC guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form
S-1 (or if available, Form S-3) to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not previously registered for resale.
(g)
Indemnification.
(i)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser Party, from and against any
losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (“Losses”) to which they may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, arising out of, relating to or based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or other document, including
any Blue Sky Application (as defined below), or any amendment or supplement thereof or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or, in the case of the Registration Statement, necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
or, in the case of any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or other document, necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; (ii) any Blue Sky Application or other document executed by the Company
specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order
to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities Laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein
called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or its agents of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any similar federal or state law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the
Company or its agents and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with the registration or the offer
or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement; or (iv) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed
in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on the Purchasers behalf and will reimburse each Purchaser
Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such Losses;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such Losses
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by the Purchasers or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus.
(ii)
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to
the indemnifying party of any claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it seeks indemnification following such Person’s
receipt of, or such Person otherwise become aware of, the commencement of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A)
the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of
such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon
written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims
(in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person);
and provided, further, that the failure or delay of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay to give notice shall materially adversely affect the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for
all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(iii)
Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraph (ii) is unavailable to an indemnified
party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 4.15(g)(iii) are in addition
to any other rights or remedies that any indemnified party may have under applicable law, by separate agreement or otherwise.
(h) Effect
of Failure to File and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. In addition to any other remedies provided under
the Transaction Documents, if (i) the Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be
covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.15 is (a) not filed with the SEC on or before the
Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (b) not declared effective on or before the Effectiveness
Deadline, (ii) on any day after the effective date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required
to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation,
because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales
to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the Common Shares on
a Trading Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of Common Shares or by reason of a stop order, but excluding any
failure of the Company to register all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement as a
result of the application of Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for
use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), other than the period of time where the Registration
Statement is not effective due to a post-effective amendment filing to the Registration Statement after an Annual Report on Form
10-K is filed, or (iii) if the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (a “Current Public Information
Failure”) as a result of which the Purchasers are unable to sell those Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial
relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying Common
Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the
Purchasers an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of the Offering (provided that no such
liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Registrable Security from and after the earlier of the date such security is no longer a
Registrable Security and the expiration of the Effectiveness Period): (1) on the date of such Filing Failure, Maintenance Failure or
Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) calendar day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure
until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (III) a Current Public
Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such
public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30)
days). The payments to which Purchasers shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.15(h) are referred to herein as
“Registration Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event
or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an
event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) calendar day anniversary of such
event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd) Trading Day after such cure. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) no single event or failure with respect to a particular Registration Statement shall give rise to more than one
type of Registration Delay Payment with respect to such Registration Statement, (ii) no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to
the Purchasers (with respect to any period during which all of Registrable Securities may be sold by the Purchasers without
restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information
required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) with respect to any Registrable Securities excluded from a
Registration Statement by election of the Purchaser.
(i) Reverse
Merger Registration. If the Company consummates a Reverse Merger and any securities to be received by the securityholders of the
Company in connection with the Reverse Merger are to be registered under a Securities Act registration statement (including pursuant
to a Form S-4 or Form F-4) (the “Reverse Merger Registration Statement”), then to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law (including, but not limited to, the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder), the Company shall cause all Registrable Securities to be registered for immediate resale at prevailing market prices
under such Reverse Merger Registration Statement. In addition to any other remedies provided under the Transaction Documents, if the
Company fails to comply with this Section 4.15(i), then the Company shall pay to the Purchasers an amount in cash equal to
eight percent (8.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Registrable Securities are,
and remain, registered pursuant to this Section 4.15(i), the obligations of the Company to file a registration statement pursuant to
Section 4.15(a) shall not apply.
(j)
Purchaser Lock-Up. In connection with the Public Company Event, the Purchaser agrees to enter into a customary lock-up agreement
with respect to the Underlying Shares upon the reasonable request of the Placement Agent.
(k)
Key Securityholder Lock-Up. In connection with the Public Company Event, the Company (pursuant to a reasonable request of
the underwriter(s) or financial advisor, as applicable) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all Key Securityholders
(except any Key Securityholders that are already subject to the Lock-Up Agreement as provided in this Agreement) to enter into customary
lock-up agreements with respect to all of the Common Shares or “derivative” securities beneficially held by such Key Securityholders.
As used herein, “Key Securityholders” means every Person beneficially holding greater than five percent (5.0%)
of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, where holders of “derivative” securities shall be deemed to hold the underlying
Common Shares.

pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
5.4
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written
instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers holding at least 50.01% in interest of the Notes (the “Majority
Purchasers”) at the time of the respective amendment or modification, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser
(or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision,
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the
exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and
obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written
consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.4 shall be binding upon each Purchaser
and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.5
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
5.6
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors
and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers” and neither the transferee nor any
officer, director, member, or affiliate of the transferee would be deemed a “bad actor” as covered by Rule 506(d) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.
5.7
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 4.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Placement Agent shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of the representations
and warranties of the Company as contained in Section 3.1 of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such provisions directly
to the extent it may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights.
5.8
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles
of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and
federal courts sitting in New York, New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in New York, New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.9, the prevailing
party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other
costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
5.9
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.10
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page was an original thereof.
5.11
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by
such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would
have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.12
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar
provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission
of a conversion of a Note or exercise of a Warrant, the terms of the Note or Warrants as applicable will control.
5.13
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also
pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.14
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in
the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the (a) Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder, pursuant to the Note, or
pursuant to any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) the Purchaser enforces
or exercises its rights hereunder, pursuant to the Note, or pursuant to any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof
(including but not limited to the sale of the Securities) are for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Purchaser, or (ii) are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other person or entity under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then (A) to the extent of
any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (B) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Company shall immediately pay to the Purchaser a dollar amount equal to the amount that was for any reason (1)
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Purchaser, or
(2) required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other
person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause of action).
5.16
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever
claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any
right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it
is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of
interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any
other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.
It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or
decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed
by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application
is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to
any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the
unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s
election.
5.17 Independent Nature
of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-
performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers
with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do
so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other
Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and
not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.
5.19
Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things,
and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.20
Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or
electronic mail or in .pdf or any other form of electronic delivery (including any electronic signature complying with U.S. federal ESIGN
Act of 2000)) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.
All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
5.21
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to
revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved
against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition,
each and every reference to share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and
forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date
of this Agreement.
5.22 Personal
Information. The Purchasers consents to the collection by the Company of personal information about the Purchaser (as defined
under applicable privacy laws, the “Personal Information”) for the purpose of completing the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser consents to the Company retaining the Personal Information for as long as permitted or
required by law or business practices. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may use the Personal Information: (i) internally
(for the purpose of managing the relationship between and contractual obligations of the Company and the Purchaser); (ii) for income
tax-related purposes; (iii) to demonstrate compliance with securities laws; and (iv) in record books prepared in respect of the
offering of the securities contemplated in this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may disclose the Personal
Information: (i) to the Canada Revenue Agency; (ii) to professional advisers of the Company in connection with the performance of
their professional services; (iii) as required by securities regulatory authorities, stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies;
(iv) to a governmental or other authority to which the disclosure is required by court order or subpoena compelling that disclosure
(if there is no reasonable alternative to that disclosure); (v) to a court determining the rights of the parties under this
Agreement; (vi) to any other parties involved in the offering of the securities contemplated in this Agreement, including legal
counsel; (vii) to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent (if applicable); and (viii) as otherwise required or permitted by
law. The Purchaser consents to the use and disclosure of the Personal Information set out in this Section 5.22 and agrees to furnish
to the Company any additional information as may be required and requested by the Company in order to file a Form 45-106F1 –
Report of Exempt Distribution under applicable Canadian securities laws.
If the Purchaser is an
individual, the Purchaser authorizes the indirect collection of the Personal Information by the securities regulatory authority or
regulator (each as defined in National Instrument 14-101 Definitions) and confirms that the Purchaser has been notified by the
Company: (i) that the Company will be delivering the Personal Information to the securities regulatory authority or regulator; (ii)
that the Personal Information is being collected by the securities regulatory authority or regulator under the authority granted in
applicable securities laws; (iii) that the Personal Information is being collected for the purposes of the administration and
enforcement of applicable securities laws; and (iv) that the title, business address and business telephone number of the public
official who can answer questions about the securities regulatory authority’s or regulator’s indirect collection of the
Personal Information is as set out below.

Each Purchaser referenced below
Re: |

Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Damon Motors Inc., a British
Columbia company (the “Company”) and the purchaser signatory thereto (each, a “Purchaser” and, collectively,
the “Purchasers”) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned
irrevocably agrees with the Company that, from the date of the consummation of a Public Company Event (as defined below) (such date, the
“Trigger Date”) until the six-month anniversary of the Trigger Date (such period, the “Restriction Period”),
the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which
is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition
due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any Affiliate (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the undersigned, directly
or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning
of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to, any common
shares of the Company or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into, common shares of the Company beneficially owned, held
or hereafter acquired by the undersigned (the “Securities”). Beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose irrevocable stop-transfer instructions
preventing the transfer agent of the Company from effecting any actions in violation of this letter agreement. As used herein, “Public
Company Event” means a transaction or series of related transactions (including a firm commitment, underwritten public offering,
a “direct listing” or a reverse merger of the Company with a publicly reporting corporation), in any case which results in
the common shares of the Company (or any other class of common equity of the Company or any successor to the Company) being listed on
the NYSE American, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
or any other national securities exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Securities provided that (1) the Company receives
a signed lock-up agreement (in the form of this letter agreement) for the balance of the Restriction Period from each trustee, distributee,
or transferee, as the case may be, prior to such transfer, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such transfer
is not required to be reported with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act (and no report of such
transfer shall be made voluntarily, and (4) neither the undersigned nor any trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, otherwise
voluntarily effects any public filing or report regarding such transfers, with respect to transfers:
i. to any
immediate family member or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the
undersigned (for purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or
adoption, not more remote than first cousin);
ii.
to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other business entity all of the equity holders of which consist
of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned; or
iii.
by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the
immediate family of the undersigned.
In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, this letter agreement shall not restrict the delivery of common shares of the Company to the undersigned
upon the exercise of options, warrants, convertible preferred shares or other derivative securities; provided that such common shares
are subject to the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement.
The undersigned
acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement is a material inducement to each Purchaser to perform
under the Purchase Agreement and that each Purchaser (which shall be a third-party beneficiary of this letter agreement) and the Company
shall be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned
has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this letter agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate consideration
therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
This letter agreement
may not be amended or otherwise modified in any respect without the written consent of each of the Company, at least a majority in interest
of the Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at the time of the respective amendment or modification, and the undersigned. This
letter agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles
of conflict of laws. The undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting
in the Southern District of New York and the courts of the State of New York located in Manhattan, for the purposes of any suit, action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that (i) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, (ii) the suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The undersigned hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof
sent to the Company at the address in effect for notices to it under the Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The undersigned hereby waives any right to a trial by jury. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The undersigned agrees and understands
that this letter agreement does not intend to create any relationship between the undersigned and each Purchaser and that no issuance
or sale of the Securities is created or intended by virtue of this letter agreement.
This letter
agreement shall be binding on successors and assigns of the undersigned with respect to the Securities and any such successor or assign
shall enter into a similar agreement for the benefit of the Purchasers.

Form of Subsidiary Guarantee
(see attached)
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE
SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTEE, dated as of _____, 2023 (this “Guarantee”), made by each of the signatories hereto (together with any other entity
that may become a party hereto as provided herein, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the purchasers signatory (together
with their permitted assigns, the “Purchasers”) to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, by and among DAMON MOTORS INC., a British Columbia company (the “Company”) and the Purchasers.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Purchasers (the “Purchase
Agreement”), the Company has agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the
Company the Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, each
Guarantor will directly benefit from the extension of credit to the Company represented by the issuance of the Notes; and
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated
thereby; each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:
1.
Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder”
and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined
herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Guarantee”
means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
“Obligations”
means, in addition to all other reasonable costs and expenses of collection incurred by Purchasers in enforcing any of such
Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or
several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of the Company or any
Guarantor to the Purchasers, including, without limitation, all obligations under this Guarantee, the Notes, the Warrants, and any
other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case,
whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created
or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment
is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Purchasers as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such
obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the Notes and the
loans extended pursuant thereto and all amounts owed under the Warrants; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs,
obligations and liabilities of the Company or any Guarantor from time to time under or in connection with this Guarantee, the Notes
and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii)
all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact
that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving the Company or any Guarantor.
2.
Guarantee.
(a)
Guarantee.
(i)
The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the Purchasers and their respective
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(ii)
Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable
federal and state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the
rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).
(iii)
Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Purchasers hereunder.
(iv) The
guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full.
(v)
No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the
Purchasers from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed
to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment
(other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor
in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations
are indefeasibly paid in full.
(vi)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, with respect to any defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific
performance of which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock), the Guarantors shall
only be liable for making the Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for the Company’s failure to perform such Obligations in accordance
with the Transaction Documents.
(b)
Right of Contribution. Subject to Section 2(c), each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have
paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution
from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations
and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Purchasers and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Purchasers for the full amount guaranteed
by such Guarantor hereunder.
(c) No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor
by the Purchasers, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Purchasers against the Company or any
other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Purchasers for the payment of the
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other
Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Company on
account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the Purchasers, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the
Purchasers, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Purchasers may
determine.
(d)
Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment
of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded by the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations,
or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers, and the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers
may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for
the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Purchasers shall have no obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section
2 or any property subject thereto.
(e) Guarantee
Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of
the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Purchasers upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of
the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all
dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor
waives to the extent permitted by law diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or
upon the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the
Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time
to time held by the Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance or fraud by
Purchasers) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Purchasers, or (c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any
other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by the Purchasers to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any
such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security,
guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or
affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Purchasers against any Guarantor.
For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(f)
Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as
a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Guarantor
or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
(g)
Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Purchasers without set-off or counterclaim
in U.S. dollars at the address set forth or referred to in the Signature Pages to the Purchase Agreement.
3.
Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchasers as
of the date hereof:
(a) Organization
and Qualification. The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and
to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those identified as such on the
Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement. The Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the
aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Guaranty in any material respect, (y) have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, or financial condition of the Guarantor or (z) adversely impair in any
material respect the Guarantor’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Guaranty (a
“Material Adverse Effect”).
(b)

the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Guaranty by the Guarantor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of the Guarantor. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the

(c)
No Conflicts. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance
of this Guaranty by the Guarantor and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i)
conflict with or violate any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or
an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which
the Guarantor is subject (including Federal and State securities laws and regulations), or by which any material property or asset of
the Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The business of the Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except
for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Consents
and Approvals. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor is not required to
obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state,

Guarantor of this Guaranty.
(e)
Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement as they relate
to such Guarantor, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of each time such representations
are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement, and the Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were
fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Company’s knowledge shall, for the
purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.
4.
Covenants.
(a)
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall
have been indefeasibly paid in full, such Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each commercially
reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes)
(each an “Event of Default”) is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor.
(b)
So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless Purchasers holding at least 67% of the aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes shall otherwise consent in writing, each Guarantor will not directly or indirectly on or after the date of
this Guarantee:
i.
other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness
for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned
or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
ii.
other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens of any
kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom;
iii.
amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of any Purchaser;
iv.
repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its securities
or debt obligations;
v.
pay cash dividends on any equity securities of the Company;
vi.
enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Guarantor unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and
expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board
approval); or
vii.
enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
5.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except in writing by the Purchasers holding at least 67% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
(b)
Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the
manner provided for in the Purchase Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed
to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 5(b).
(c)
No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Purchasers shall not by any act (except by a written instrument
pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any default under the Transaction Documents or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on
the part of the Purchasers, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. A waiver by the Purchasers of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right
or remedy which the Purchasers would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may
be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
(d)
Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(i)
Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Purchasers for, all its costs and expenses to the extent reasonable incurred in
collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this
Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers.
(ii)
Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from
any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (not including income taxes) which may be payable or determined to
be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.
(iii)
Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement.
(iv)
The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents.
(e)
Successor and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure
to the benefit of the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate
any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, Company, and Guarantors (and
any such assignment or transfer in violation of the aforementioned provision shall be void).
(f) Set-Off.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Purchasers at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default under any of
the Transaction Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such
notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by the Purchasers to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Purchasers
may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to the Purchasers hereunder and claims of
every nature and description of the Purchasers against such Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the
Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise, as the Purchasers may elect, whether or not the Purchasers have
made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Purchasers
shall notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Purchasers of the proceeds thereof,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Purchasers under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off)
which the Purchasers may have.
(g)
Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts
(including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
(h)
Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof,
and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
(i)
Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect
the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
(j)

with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Purchasers
relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Transaction Documents.
(k) Governing
Laws. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Guarantee shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agree that all proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Guarantee and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(l)
Acknowledgements. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
(i)
it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party;
(ii)
the Purchasers have no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee

no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby among the Guarantors and the Purchasers.

This unsecured convertible promissory note (as
it may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with its terms and conditions, the “Note”) forms part of a larger
offering of unsecured convertible promissory notes issued by Damon Motors Inc., a British Columbia company (the “Company”),
on a private placement basis (the “Offering”). All unsecured convertible promissory notes issued as part of the Offering
are collectively referred to in this Note as the “Notes” and their holders are collectively referred to in this Note
as the “Holders”. This Note is an unsecured obligation of the Company. This Note shall rank pari passu with
the other Notes issued as part of the Offering. The following is a statement of the rights of the Investor and the terms and conditions
to which this Note is subject, and to which the Investor hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees. This Note is free from all taxes,
liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights
of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings given to them in Schedule A hereto, provided, however, that if any such capitalized term is not in Schedule
A hereto, then such capitalized term shall have the meaning set forth in that certain securities purchase agreement by and between
the Company and Investor, dated on or around the Issue Date, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase
Agreement”).
For value received, the Company promises
to pay to the Investor, or its registered assigns, in the Applicable Currency, the Principal, together with simple interest (“Interest”)
on the Principal at a rate equal to the Interest Rate, all in accordance with the terms of this Note.
| (a) | Interest shall accrue on the unpaid Principal outstanding from time-to-time at the Interest Rate as of
Issue Date until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise, as further
provided herein. Any Principal which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) sixteen percent (16%) per
annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by the applicable law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default
Interest”). |
| (b) | Interest and Default Interest will computed on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable;
except that Interest in respect of any period that is shorter than a full annual period will be computed on the basis of a 365-day or
366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed in that period. |
Unless repurchased earlier or converted
in accordance with Section 7, the Company shall repay the Outstanding Amount on the earlier of:
| (a) | the date that is one (1) year after the initial closing of the Offering (the “Maturity Date”); or |
| (b) | the date on which the Investor demands payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default (for the avoidance
of doubt, including the lapse of any applicable grace or cure period as provided in this Note). |
| 4. | Payment; Prepayment; Rank |
| (a) | All amounts paid by the Company under this Note will be paid in the Applicable Currency at such time as
specified in Section 3. |
| (b) | The Company may not prepay the Outstanding Amount in whole or in part without the written consent of the
Requisite Holders. |
| (c) | The Notes will rank pari passu in right of payment with respect to each other, and all payment
to each of the Holders under the Notes will be made pro rata among the Holders based upon the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Notes immediately before any such payment. |
| (d) | If, following the occurrence of an Event of Default (for the avoidance of doubt, including the lapse of
any applicable grace or cure period as provided in this Note), the Company receives cash proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt
securities, the incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money, a merchant cash advance or similar transaction, the conversion of outstanding
warrants of the Company, or the sale of assets or products, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days of Company’s receipt
of such proceeds, inform the Holders, following which each Investor shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company
to immediately apply up to twenty-five percent (25%) of such net cash proceeds (net cash shall mean the total amount remaining after taxes
and transactional expenses only) (the “Repayment Percentage”) to repay all or any portion of the Default Amount then
due under this Note, provided, however, that if any of the other Notes are outstanding at such time, then the Repayment Percentage shall
be allocated amongst the Notes on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then held by the Holders.
In the event that any of the Holders elects not to apply their pro rata portion of the respective Repayment Percentage towards the repayment
of their Notes, then such respective Repayment Percentage shall be allocated to the other Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion
to the aggregate principal amount of Notes then held by such other Holders. |
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance
of the Notes for the Purpose, and for no other purpose.
| 6. | Event of Default; Remedies |
| (a) | Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter during the continuance
of such Event of Default, the Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare the Outstanding Amount to be immediately due and
payable, and the Company shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount.
The Investor shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. |
| (a) | Automatic Conversion – Public Company Event |
Upon the closing of a Public Company
Event (or, in the case of a direct listing, upon the date which is ten (10) trading days following the date of the direct listing), the
Outstanding Amount shall automatically be converted into such number of Listed Securities obtained by dividing the Outstanding Amount
by the Public Company Event Conversion Price.
The Investor shall have the right,
following the occurrence of an Event of Default (for the avoidance of doubt, including the lapse of any applicable grace or cure period
as provided in this Note), to convert all or any portion of the Outstanding Amount into fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares, as
such Common Shares exist on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Shares
shall hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the Default Conversion Price, by submitting to the Company a notice of conversion (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A) (each a “Notice of Conversion”) by e-mail or other reasonable means of communication
dispatched on the applicable conversion date prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time. Upon submission to the Company by the Investor
of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 7(b), the Company shall issue and
deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Investor certificates for the Common Shares within two (2) Business
Days after Investor’s submission of the respective Notice of Conversion. If electronic delivery of the Common Shares is available
at such time, then Company shall deliver such Common Shares electronically by crediting Investor’s balance account with DTC.
Upon the occurrence
of a Change of Control, the Investor may either (a) require that the Company repurchase for cash all or a portion of this Note in principal
amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 125% of the principal amount under this Note to be repurchased,
plus 125% of any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and this Note shall thereafter be cancelled and be of no further force or effect,
whether or not delivered to the Company for cancellation or (b) convert the Outstanding Amount into such number of Common Shares obtained
by dividing the Outstanding Amount by the Change of Control Conversion Price.
| (d) | Mechanics of Conversion |
| (i) | Transaction Notice. The Company will provide the Investor
with written notice of a proposed Public Company Event or Change of Control, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable in advance
of such event (but in any event no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated closing of such event (the “Anticipated
Closing Date”)), which notice will set forth the Anticipated Closing Date of such event and the principal terms and conditions
of such event. |
| (ii) | Fractional Securities; Non-Assessable; Effect of Conversion. No fractional Conversion Securities
will be issued to the Investor on conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional Conversion Securities to which the Investor would
otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay to the Investor in cash the unconverted outstanding amount under this Note that would otherwise
be converted into a fractional Conversion Security, conditional on such cash amount being greater than $20.00, otherwise no cash payment
shall be made in lieu of such fractional Conversion Securities. The Company covenants that the Conversion Securities issuable upon the
conversion of this Note will, upon conversion of this Note, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes,
liens, and charges in respect of the issue thereof. Whether or not this Note has been surrendered for cancellation concurrently with any
conversion of this Note, all rights with respect to this Note terminate upon the issuance of Conversion Securities upon conversion of
this Note in accordance with Section 7, and the Company shall then be released from all of its obligations and liabilities under
this Note. |
| (iii) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
that any issuance of Common Shares under this Note for any reason would cause the Investor (together with the Investor’s Affiliates,
and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Investor or any of the Investor’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), to beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in this Note), the Company shall
only issue such number of shares of Common Shares to the Investor that would not cause the Investor to exceed the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation with the balance of such remaining Common Shares above the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to be issued to Investor in the
form of Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company agrees that no event shall result in the Investor beneficially owning more than the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor
and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which
such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Shares, which would be issuable upon (i) conversion
of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Investor or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties
and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein regarding securities beneficially owned by the Investor or any
of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Investor that the Investor is solely responsible for any schedules required
to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Upon the written request of an Investor,
the Company shall within three (3) Business Days confirm in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Shares then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise
of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Investor or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation restrictions provided for herein may be waived at the election of
the Investor upon not less than 61 calendar days’ prior notice to the Company, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
restrictions shall continue to apply until such 61st calendar day (or such later date, as determined by the Investor, as specified
in such notice of waiver). |
| (iv) | The certificates representing any Conversion Securities shall bear the following legend: |
IN CANADA, UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES
LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR (4) MONTHS AND ONE (1) DAY AFTER THE
LATER OF (I) THE ISSUE DATE, AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY.
| (v) | The conversion of all or any portion of the Outstanding Amount of this Note into Conversion Securities
in accordance with the terms of this Note will constitute a full settlement of the debt obligation to the extent of the Outstanding Amount
so converted in consideration for the issuance by the Company of such Conversion Securities. |
| (a) | Reserved Shares. The Company covenants that at all times
until this Note is satisfied in full, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of
shares, free from pre-emptive rights, to provide for the issuance of a number of Common Shares equal to the Reserved Amount. The Company
represents that upon issuance, the Common Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
| (b) | Sale of Assets. So long as the Company shall have any
obligation under this Note, the Company shall not, without the written consent of the Requisite Holders, sell, divest, lease or otherwise
dispose of any of its assets outside the ordinary course of business, except (i) with respect to any disposition of Bridgeview Property
in connection with the Bosa Default or (ii) where any such action would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Any consent by the Requisite
Holders to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition. |
| (c) | Advances and Loans; Affiliate Transactions. So long as the Company shall have any obligation under

shall bear its respective out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal fees) incurred with respect to this Note and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
The Company and the Investor shall be
bound by the applicable terms of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
This Note shall be governed by

brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note or any other agreement, certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby shall be brought only in New York, New York. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any
objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES
NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The prevailing party in any action or dispute brought in connection with this
this Note or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be entitled to recover
from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
To the extent it may lawfully do so,
the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled
to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any action
or proceeding that may be brought by the Investor in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Note. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in this Note, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under this Note for
payments under the applicable law, which are in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable
law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest,
or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums which under the applicable law in the nature of interest that the Company may be
obligated to pay under this Note exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by applicable
law and applicable to this Note is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the Issue Date,
the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to this Note from the effective date thereof
forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum
Rate is paid by the Company to the Investor with respect to indebtedness evidenced by this Note, such excess shall be applied by the Investor
to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the
Investor’s election.
Except with respect to any
Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company, at any time while this Note or any amounts due hereunder are
outstanding, issues, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of, or
issues, any Common Shares or other securities convertible into, exercisable for, or otherwise entitle any person or entity the right
to acquire, shares of Common Shares (including, without limitation, upon conversion of this Note, and any convertible notes or
warrants outstanding as of or following the Issue Date), in each or any case at an effective price per share that is lower than the
then applicable Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively,
a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being agreed that if the holder of the Common Shares or other securities so issued
shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share that are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled
to receive shares of Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be
deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall
be reduced, at the option of the Investor, to a price equal to the product of the Discounted Conversion Rate and the Base Conversion
Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Shares or other securities are issued.
By way of example, except with respect
to any Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company issues a convertible promissory note, and the holder of
such convertible promissory note has the right to convert it into Common Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the
then applicable Conversion Price (including but not limited to a conversion price with a discount that varies with the trading prices
of or quotations for the Common Shares), then the Investor has the right to reduce the Conversion Price to the product of the Discounted
Conversion Rate and the Base Conversion Price in perpetuity regardless of whether the holder of such convertible promissory note ever
effectuated a conversion at the Base Conversion Price.
In the event of an issuance of securities
involving multiple tranches or closings, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 23 shall be calculated as if all such securities
were issued at the initial closing. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the
events described in Section 23 of this Note, the Company shall, at its expense and within three (3) calendar days after the occurrence
of each respective adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish
to the Investor a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the
number of shares of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion
of this Note, (iii) the detailed facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including
but not limited to relevant transaction documents) that evidences the adjustment or readjustment.
In addition, the Company shall, within
three (3) calendar days after each written request from the Investor, furnish to such Investor a like certificate setting forth (i) the
Conversion Price in effect at such time based upon the Dilutive Issuance, (ii) the number of shares of Common Shares and the amount, if
any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of this Note, (iii) the detailed facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based, and (iv) copies of the documentation (including but not limited to relevant transaction documents)
that evidence the adjustment or readjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a
result of the events described in Section 23 of this Note shall occur without any action by the Investor and regardless of whether
the Company complied with the notification provisions in Section 23 of this Note.
Except with respect to the Permitted
Indebtedness, so long as the Company shall have any obligation under this Note, the Company shall not (directly or indirectly through
any Subsidiary or Affiliate) incur, suffer to exist, or guarantee any indebtedness (including but not limited to all obligations evidenced
by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar instruments).
| 25. | Counterparts and Electronic Signature |
This Note may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. For the purposes of this Section 25, the delivery of an electronic copy of an
executed counterpart of this Note shall deemed to be valid execution and delivery of this Note.

COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
DAMON MOTORS
INC.
Warrant Shares: [________] |
|
Initial Exercise Date: [______] |
THIS COMMON SHARE PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [____] or its assigns (the “Holder”) is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in full (such applicable date, the
“Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Damon Motors Inc., a British Columbia company
(the “Company”), up to [______] Common Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”).
The purchase price of one Common Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
This Warrant is being issued
pursuant to Section 7(d)(iii) of that certain Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), which was originally issued in connection with
the Company’s private placement (the “Offering”) of up to $10,000,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to increase
upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) and Warrants (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement).
Section
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of October [ ], 2023, by and among the Company
and the purchasers signatory thereto (the “Investors”) and in the Notes issued in connection therewith. All references
to “Trading Day” in this Warrant shall mean “Business Day” until the Common Shares are listed or quoted for trading
on a Trading Market.
Section
2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on
or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy
or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice
of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i)) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate
Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United
States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original
Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of
Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which
the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the
total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise
within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of
Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded
to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise
price of $0.01 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The
Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance
or for any reason whatsoever. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.01 (on an as
adjusted basis giving effect to any splits, dividend and the like from the date hereof), subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).
c) Cashless
Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which
the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
| (A) | = |
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64)
of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Shares
on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice
of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within
two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant
to Section 2(a) or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading
Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) after the close of “regular trading hours”
on such Trading Day; |
| (B) | = |
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and |
| (X) | = |
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If Warrant Shares
are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act,
the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being
issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common
Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Shares for the time in question (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a
Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as
applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common
Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in
all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the
holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses
of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from
9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted
average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares
are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined
by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the
Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a
participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares
to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or
manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of
a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by
the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one
(1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the
Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share
Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate (but not Rule 144)
purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the
case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay
to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per
Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees, following the
Public Company Event, to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program during the period beginning on the date
of the Public Company Event and continuing for so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein,
“Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the
Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Share as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of
Exercise.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by
its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common
Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the
number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied
with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Share having a total purchase price
of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such
purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and,
upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other
remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant
to the terms hereof.
v. No
Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall,
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in
the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a
condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. The Company
shall , if requested by Holder, provide an attorney legal opinion from counsel to the Company to Holder for removal of restrictive legends
on Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any
other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons,
“Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and
Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such
determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the
remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and
(ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the
preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely
responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and
Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a
determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding
Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C)
a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the
written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number
of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution
Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event
exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any
increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with
the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section
3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares
(which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides
outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split ) outstanding Common
Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of
the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common
Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately
adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
b)
[Intentionally Omitted]:
c) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without
limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification,
corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after
the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent
that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of
this Warrant (subject to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately
before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders
of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, the Holder’s right to
participate in any such Distribution shall be limited to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution
to such extent) beyond the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in
one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or
any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of
all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase
offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the
holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv)
the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or
recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted
into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a
reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such
other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity
of the Company (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or
affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right
to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this
Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving
corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such
Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such
exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on
the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall
apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different
components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property
to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the
event a Fundamental Transaction is consummated at or prior to the time of a Public Company Event, the Company or any Successor
Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after,
the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as
defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however,
that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control, including not approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration
(and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid
to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the
form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among
alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders
of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common
Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such
Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on
the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public
announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as
of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price
per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus
the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last
VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public
announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the
Black Scholes Value (or such other consideration) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business
Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause
any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder,
deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of
this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative
value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of
shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the
Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same
effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f)
Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common
Share, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock
of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last
facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 15 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y)
the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close,
and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the
Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during
the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be
expressly set forth herein.
g) Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of
this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period
of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Section
4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights)
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent
or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required,
such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing
the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers
an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised
by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this
Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this
Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes,
absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, (A) the Company
has not been a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada for at least four months and one day; and (B) the transfer of this
Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current
public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
f) Permitted
Transfers and Assignments. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may transfer, with or without
consideration, this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) or to officers, directors, employees and other associated persons of the Holder without obtaining
an opinion from counsel that may be required hereunder, unless otherwise required by the Company’s transfer agent, provided, that
the Holder delivers to the Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other assurances reasonably required by the Company’s
counsel to enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate
applicable securities laws. In addition, the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale
in Canada until such time as the Company has been a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada for a period of four months and one
day pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
Section
5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as
a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Shares the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase
rights under this Warrant multiplied by two (2). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute
full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant
Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading
Market upon which the Common Share may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant
and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the
extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate
of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior
to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any
action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price,
the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory
body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision
of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this
Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of
appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its
rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices.
Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in
accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant
Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase
price of any Common Share or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.
j) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment;
Waivers. Any modifications, amendments or waivers of the provisions hereof shall be subject to Section 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
m) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
DAMON MOTORS INC.
Warrant Shares: 1,096,321 |
Initial Exercise Date: October [__], 2023 |
THIS COMMON SHARE PURCHASE
WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Inpixon, a Nevada corporation, or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is
five (5) years after the Initial Exercise Date (such applicable date, the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to
subscribe for and purchase from Damon Motors Inc., a British Columbia company (the “Company”), up to 1,096,321 Common
Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Common Share under this
Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
This Warrant is being issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Company’s private placement (the “Offering”) of up
to $10,000,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to increase upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement)) and Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), dated as of October [__], 2023, by and among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto (the “Investors”)
and in the Notes issued in connection therewith. All references to “Trading Day” in this Warrant shall mean “Business
Day” until the Common Shares are listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant.
Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial
Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted
by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”).
Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined
in Section 2(d)(i)) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price
for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank
unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice
of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise
be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to
the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in
which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which
the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the
total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable
hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise
within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of
Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price.
The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall mean the price equal to the quotient of the Valuation Cap (as defined herein)
and the Diluted Capitalization (as defined herein) (on an as adjusted basis giving effect to any splits, dividend and the like from the
date hereof). “Valuation Cap” means US$125,000,000. “Diluted Capitalization” means the aggregate number of Common
Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the initial closing of the Offering, assuming full conversion or full exercise of all convertible
or exercisable securities then outstanding (including any outstanding convertible notes, any “Simple Agreements for Future Equity”
and any Common Shares reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan of the Company), but for the
avoidance of doubt excluding the Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and any warrants issued to the Placement Agent as compensation
in the Offering.
c) Cashless Exercise.
If at any time after 180 days following the closing of the Public Company Event (“Registration Deadline”), there is
no effective registration statement registering, or no currently prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder
(a “Registration Default”), then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of
a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
| (A) | = |
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of
Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64)
of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the
VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Shares
on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice
of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within
two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant
to Section 2(a) or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading
Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) after the close of “regular trading hours”
on such Trading Day; |
| (B) | = |
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and |
| (X) | = |
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such
exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If Warrant Shares are issued
in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant
Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may
be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“Bid Price”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading
Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New
York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price
of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not
then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most
recent bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined
by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from
9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted
average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares
are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined
by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section
2(c).
If at any time after the Registration
Deadline, there is a Registration Default, then, (i) the Holder shall be entitled to liquidated damages for each $1,000 of the Holder’s
Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $20
per Trading Day for each trading day thereafter until such Warrant Shares are delivered or the Holder rescinds the applicable Notice of
Exercise not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Warrant, and (ii) for each thirty (30) days following the Registration
Deadline, or portion of any thirty (30) day period thereafter in which a Registration Default exists, the amount of Warrant Shares of
Holder shall be automatically increased by three percent (3%) over the Warrant Shares which are held by the Holder as on such dates (which
percentage shall be prorated in the case of a partial month) not to exceed in the aggregate an additional eight percent (8%); provided
that the foregoing shall not apply if (A) the Company is current in all of its filing obligations under the Exchange Act as of the time
of the applicable Notice of Exercise, and (B) there is no delay with the delivery of the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer
Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system
and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant
to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to
such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading
Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price
to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder
shall be deemed for all corporate (but not Rule 144) purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to
which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the
number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for
any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company
shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading
Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery
Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees, following the Public Company Event,
to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program during the period beginning on the date of the Public Company Event
and continuing for so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period”
means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Share as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission
Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)
by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section
2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
“Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the number
of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price
at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the
portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall
be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied
with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Share having a total purchase price
of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase
obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request
of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional
Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As
to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election,
either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or
round up to the next whole share.
vi. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in
the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise
shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require,
as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay
all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another
established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. The Company
shall, if requested by Holder, provide an attorney legal opinion from counsel to the Company to Holder for removal of restrictive legends
on Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any
other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that
the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder
is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together
with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected
in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of
Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in
writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance
of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed
and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any
portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes
or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply
to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends
and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution
or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding
Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split ) outstanding Common Shares into
a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company,
then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that
the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
b) Subsequent
Equity Sales. If and whenever, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, announces any offer, sale,
or other disposition of, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued, sold or granted (or makes an announcement regarding
the same), any Common Shares and/or Common Share Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”)
less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise
Price then in effect is referred to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, (1) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance
Price and (2) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder,
after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment
(subject to adjustment as provided herein). For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted
Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 3(b)), the following shall be applicable:
i. Issuance
of Options. Except with respect to any Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if the Company in any manner grants,
issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options (as defined below) and the lowest price per share for
which one Common Shares are at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise
or exchange of any Common Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the
terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and
sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option (as defined below) for such price per share. For purposes of this
Section 3(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Shares are at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such
Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such
Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest
amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Common Share upon the granting, issuance
or sale of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
any Common Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y)
the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option (as defined below) for which one Common Shares are issuable (or may become issuable
assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options (as defined below) or upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of any Common Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof
minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale
of such Option (as defined below), upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common
Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of such Option (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of
any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (as defined below) (or any other
Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common
Shares or of such Common Share Equivalents upon the exercise of such Options (as defined below) or otherwise pursuant to the terms of
or upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Share Equivalents. “Option”
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or Convertible Securities except with respect to any
Exempt Issuance as defined in the Purchase Agreement. “Convertible Securities” means any shares or other security
(other than Options) that is at any time and under any circumstances, directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable
for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any Common Shares.
ii. Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Common
Share Equivalents and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding
and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Common Share Equivalents for such price per
share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Shares are at any time issuable
upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of
(x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Common Share upon
the issuance or sale of the Common Shares Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Share Equivalents or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Common Share Equivalents for which one Common Share
is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Common Share Equivalents (or any
other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Common Share Equivalents plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable
by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Common Share Equivalents (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Common Share Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Common Share Equivalents
is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this
Section 3(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
iii. Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Share Equivalents, or the rate at which any Common Share
Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional
changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a)), the Exercise Price
in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time
had such Options or Common Share Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased
or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii),
if the terms of any Option or Common Share Equivalents that was outstanding as of the date this Warrant was issued are increased or decreased
in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Common Share Equivalents and the Common Shares
deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in
effect.
iv. Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If any Option and/or Common Share Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined below) is
issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the
Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Common Share Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right (as defined
below), the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions if such
issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser
in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the
aggregate consideration per Common Share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the
lowest price per share for which one Common Share was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) or 3(b)(ii) above,
as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities,
the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below) of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined
by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below), as applicable, of such Adjustment Right (as
defined below), if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Common Share Equivalents, if any, in each
case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 3(b)(iv). If any Common Shares, Options or Common Share Equivalents
are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining
the consideration paid for such Common Share, Option or Common Share Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black
Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor.
If any Common Shares, Options or Common Share Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration
received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Share, Option or Common Share Equivalents,
but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will be the fair value of such
consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days
immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Shares, Options or Common Share Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose
of determining the consideration paid for such Common Shares, Option or Common Share Equivalents, but not for the purpose of the calculation
of the Black Scholes Consideration Value (as defined below)) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and
business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or Common Share Equivalents (as the case may be).
The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder.
If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation
Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following
such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such
appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne
by the Company). “Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with
respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale hereunder) of Common Shares (other than rights of the type described in Sections
3(c) and 3(d) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company in connection with, or with respect
to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment or other similar rights).
v. Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling
them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options or in Common Share Equivalents or (B) to subscribe
for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Common Share Equivalents, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance
or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
c) Pro Rata Distributions.
During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation,
any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant,
then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have
participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (subject to
any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of
which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares
are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, the Holder’s right to participate in any
such Distribution shall be limited to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) beyond
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, in one
or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell,
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one
or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v)
the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of
the voting power of the common equity of the Company (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making
or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall
have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this
Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction
by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the
Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the
Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.
If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event a Fundamental Transaction is consummated at or prior to
the time of a Public Company Event, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable
at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the
public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount
of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control,
including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor
Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this
Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction,
whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given
the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further,
that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders
of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental
Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day
of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding
to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function
on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the
sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such
Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction
and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the
time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost
of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value (or such other consideration) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The
Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved
by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the
Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or
its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder
to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction
and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of
protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes
of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of
Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment
to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment
to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice
to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common
Share, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall
authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock
of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification
of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last
facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 15 calendar days prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y)
the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close,
and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the
Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes,
or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file
such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during
the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be
expressly set forth herein.
g) Voluntary Adjustment
by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant,
subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of
Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights)
are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent
or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required,
such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing
the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers
an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised
by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants.
This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together
with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent
or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with
such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant
except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register.
The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual
notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, (A) the Company
has not been a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada for at least four months and one day; and (B) the transfer of this
Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current
public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the
Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
f) Permitted Transfers
and Assignments. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may transfer, with or without consideration,
this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule
144 of the Securities Act) or to officers, directors, employees and other associated persons of the Holder without obtaining an opinion
from counsel that may be required hereunder, unless otherwise required by the Company’s transfer agent, provided, that the Holder
delivers to the Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other assurances reasonably required by the Company’s
counsel to enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate
applicable securities laws. In addition, the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale
in Canada until such time as the Company has been a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada for a period of four months and one
day pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction
or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft
or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting
of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver
a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized
Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued
Common Shares the number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this
Warrant multiplied by two (2). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority
to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Share
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company
in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as
waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such
increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable
the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which
would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not
utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results
in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and
expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by
the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any
notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance
with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability.
No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of
any Common Share or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions
of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder
or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment; Waivers.
Any modifications, amendments or waivers of the provisions hereof shall be subject to Section 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
m) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

to the Parent and Spinco, to assume all of the obligations of the transferor under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement.
Any Transfer in violation of this Section 6(b) shall be null and void.

such disclosure documents. The Securityholder hereby agrees to promptly notify the Company, Spinco and the Parent of any required corrections

prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Action, claim,
demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Action,

respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will
be assigned (including by operation of law), in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Parties. Any such assignment
without such consent shall be null and void.
19. Enforcement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of
any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon the Parties, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude
the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that immediate and irreparable harm or damage may occur for which money damage would
not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed or complied with in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which any Party
is entitled to at law or in equity, the Parties shall be entitled to equitable remedies against another Party for its breach or threatened
breach of this Agreement, including seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Supreme Court of British Columbia or any other court as applicable within the Province
of British Columbia, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity, in each case, (a)
without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security, and (b) without proving the inadequacy of money damages or another remedy
at law. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement (including to prevent breaches
or threatened breaches of this Agreement), no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives all defenses and objections to such Action
on the grounds that (i) money damages would be adequate or there is another adequate remedy at law, or (ii) the Party seeking equitable
remedies must either post a bond or other form of security and prove the inadequacy of money damages or another remedy at law.
20. Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not
affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the
extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid
or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining
provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or
otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable
provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.
21. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall
constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
22. Capacity
as a Securityholder or Proxy Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Securityholder or proxy holder signs this
Agreement solely in the Securityholder’s or proxy holder’s capacity as a Securityholder or proxy holder of the Company, and
not in any other capacity and this Agreement shall not limit, prevent or otherwise affect the actions of the Securityholder, proxy holder
or any Affiliate, employee or designee of the Securityholder or proxy holder, or any of their respective Affiliates in his or her capacity,
if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) or any other Person, including in the exercise
of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

Exhibit 99.1
Inpixon Announces
Planned Spin-off and Merger of SAVES UK Business with Damon Motors
Inc., Makers of the Award Winning HyperSport Electric Motorcycle,
and Plans for Nasdaq Listing of Combined Company
Transaction in Addition to XTI Aircraft Merger
Provides Opportunity to Maximize Shareholder Value for Inpixon Shareholders
Damon Reports Approximately $85 Million in Pre-Production
Consumer Reservations for its Motorcycles
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (NASDAQ:INPX)
today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement under which its wholly owned subsidiary, Inpixon Ltd., a division of Inpixon’s
statistical analytics and visualization for engineering and sciences (SAVES) business based in the United Kingdom (“Inpixon UK”),
will be acquired by private Canadian company, Damon Motors Inc. (“Damon”), a British Columbia company, and the maker of the
acclaimed HyperSport electric motorcycle (the “Business Combination”). The Damon HyperSport is expected to be one of the safest,
smartest, and most powerful motorcycles available in the market. Damon concurrently announced that it has obtained approximately $85 million
in pre-production consumer reservations for its motorcycles. The enterprise value of Damon
was ascertained by Inpixon’s independent financial advisory firm to be within the range of $224 million and $284 million.

Damon’s Award Winning HyperSport Electric
Motorcycle
This transaction is in addition to and independent of the pending merger
transaction between Inpixon and XTI Aircraft, Inc. (the “XTI Transaction”), which remains on track for an anticipated closing
this quarter. Inpixon has established October 24, 2023, as the record date for stockholders entitled to vote for the XTI Transaction at
the special meeting, in lieu of the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders of Inpixon.
Inpixon plans to contribute all the outstanding capital stock of Inpixon
UK to Inpixon’s newly formed British Columbia subsidiary, Grafiti Holding Inc. (“Grafiti”), followed by a spinoff (“Spin-off”)
of all the outstanding capital stock of Grafiti (“Grafiti Shares”) owned by Inpixon to the holders of Inpixon’s outstanding
capital stock, and certain other securities as of a record date to be determined (“Inpixon Securityholders”).
Following the merger between Grafiti and Damon, holders of Grafiti
Shares, including Inpixon Securityholders and management holding Grafiti Shares immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination,
are anticipated to retain approximately 18.75% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company determined on a fully diluted
basis, which includes up to 5% in equity incentives, which may be issued to Inpixon management. Inpixon will also purchase a convertible
promissory note from Damon in the principal amount of $3 million and warrants to purchase common shares of Damon (“Damon Note and
Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3 million.
Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Damon Note and Warrants
will be exchanged for common shares of the combined company and warrants to purchase common shares of the combined company in accordance
with the terms of the definitive agreements. No securities of Inpixon will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.
Following the completion of the Business Combination, Inpixon UK and
Damon will be wholly owned subsidiaries of Grafiti, Grafiti will adopt a new name to be determined by Damon, and the combined company
will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to Nasdaq approval of an initial listing application. The transaction has been approved
unanimously by the Boards of Directors of both Inpixon and Damon subject to necessary approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
Inpixon will retain its Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) business
line and continue to work towards the completion of the XTI Transaction. Inpixon believes that pursuing these opportunities will offer
multiple opportunities for its shareholders to maximize the value of their investment in Inpixon.
Founded in 2017, Damon is committed
to unleashing the full potential of motorcycling for the world. Its products incorporate cutting-edge technology designed to solve unaddressed
safety problems in motorcycling. With an impressive 200 hp / 200 mph / 200 miles of range, Damon motorcycles are at the forefront of electric
two-wheelers, holding the potential to displace combustion motorcycles, and poised to lead the industry into a safer, more sustainable
future.
“You can’t be the future of anything if you’re not
better than the past,” said Jay Giraud, founder and CEO of Damon. “It is necessary for us to target performance metrics as
good as or better than anything achieved before, otherwise we won’t see masses of people giving up their gas motorbikes for electric
ones — people want to trade up in life.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Damon on their journey
and to provide our shareholders an additional opportunity to maximize shareholder value,” said Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon. “Damon
has achieved some remarkable innovations and generated an impressive level of demand and enthusiasm. We’re excited for Damon and
its growing community of future Damon riders.”
The Spin-off is subject to conditions including the filing of a registration
statement for the distributed shares of Grafiti with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the effectiveness
of such registration statement. The Business Combination between Grafiti and Damon is also subject to conditions, including approval of
the Business Combination by Damon securityholders, approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the Plan of Arrangement for purposes
of compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection
with the issuance by Grafiti of the merger consideration to Damon securityholders, and approval by Nasdaq to list the shares of the combined
company. No assurance can be provided as to the timing of the completion of the Spin-off and the Business Combination or that all conditions
to the Spin-off or the Business Combination will be satisfied. Inpixon expects that there will be no public trading market for the shares
of Grafiti until or unless the Business Combination is consummated. The shares of Grafiti distributed to Inpixon shareholders in the Spin-off,
and issued to Damon securityholders in the Business Combination, will be subject to lock-up restrictions for 180 days after the closing
of the Business Combination, with the following release schedule: 20% at the closing, 40% at 90 days following the closing, 40% at 180
days following the closing, subject to accelerated release from lock-up restrictions if, following closing, the public share price of
Grafiti reaches a certain threshold.

Forward-Looking Statements Regarding the Proposed Transaction
This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section
21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements
regarding the benefits of the Proposed Damon Transaction, the anticipated timing of the completion of the Proposed Damon Transaction,
the products under development by Damon and the markets in which it plans to operate, the advantages of Damon’s technology, Damon’s
competitive landscape and positioning, and Damon’s growth plans and strategies, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,” “expect,”
“intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,”
“plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “forecast”
or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties,
and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Inpixon and its
management, and Damon and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to
differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to:
| ● | the
risk that the Proposed Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which
may adversely affect the price of Inpixon’s securities; |
| ● | the
risk that the public market valuation of the combined company following the consummation
of the Business Combination may differ from the valuation range ascertained by the parties
to the Business Combination and their respective financial advisors, and that the valuation
to be ascertained by an independent financial advisor to Damon in connection with the Business
Combination may differ from the valuation ascertained by Inpixon’s independent financial
advisor; |
| ● | the
failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, including
receiving the necessary approvals from the Damon securityholders and the Supreme Court of
British Columbia with respect to the Plan of Arrangement; |
| ● | the
occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination
of the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | the
effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Transaction on Inpixon, Grafiti and
Damon’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; |
| ● | risks
that the Proposed Transaction disrupts current plans of Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon and potential
difficulties in their employee retention as a result of the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | the
outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Damon, Grafiti or Inpixon
related to the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | failure
to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction; |
| ● | the
inability to satisfy the initial listing criteria of Nasdaq or obtain Nasdaq approval of
the initial listing of the combined company on Nasdaq; |
| ● | the
risk that the price of the securities of the combined company may be volatile due to a variety
of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Grafiti and Damon
operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies
that may impose additional costs and compliance burdens on Grafiti and Damon’s operations,
global supply chain disruptions and shortages, and macro-economic and social environments
affecting Grafiti and Damon’s business and changes in the combined capital structure;
|
| ● | the
inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion
of the Proposed Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; |
| ● | the
risk that Damon has a limited operating history, has not achieved sufficient sales and production
capacity at a mass-production facility, and Damon and its current and future collaborators
may be unable to successfully develop and market Damon’s motorcycles or solutions,
or may experience significant delays in doing so; |
| ● | the
risk that the combined company may never achieve or sustain profitability; |
| ● | the
risk that Damon and the combined company may be unable to raise additional capital on acceptable
terms to finance its operations and remain a going concern; |
| ● | the
risk that the combined company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding
operations; |
| ● | the
risk that Damon’s $85 million of non-binding reservations are canceled, modified, delayed
or not placed and that Damon must return the refundable deposits and such reservations are
not converted to sales; |
| ● | the
risks relating to Damon’s ability to satisfy the conditions and deliver on the orders
and reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its motorcycles, and Damon’s
dependence on third parties for supplying components and manufacturing the motorcycles; |
| ● | the
risk that other motorcycle manufacturers develop competitive electric motorcycles or other
competitive motorcycles that adversely affect Damon’s market position; |
| ● | the
risk that Damon’s patent applications may not be approved or may take longer than expected,
and Damon may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property; |
| ● | the
risk that Damon’s estimates of market demand may be inaccurate; and |
| ● | other
risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and
“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Inpixon’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December, 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on
April 17, 2023, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period thereafter, as
such factors may be updated from time to time in Inpixon’s filings with the SEC, and
the registration statement to be filed by Grafiti in connection with the Spin-off. These
filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. |
